    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Garand pic of the day.

    Little known fact that some of the Okinawan women disliked the Japaneseicon there on the island. A number of them had their faces tatooed so that the Japanese soldiers would leave them alone. The soldiers did not like the face to be disfigured.

    When I was there (1967-69) some of these women were still alive and could be seen working in the fields. No Social Security retirement there!


    Lastly, with the addition of the American diet, many of the Okinawans have gotten much taller. Both the men and women. However, we still tower over most of them.
