Stripper Clips. There's a new guy on the block where I am, who advertises everything as "genuine WW2". I'm having an argument with him, as I don't like to see people ripped off.
He's trying to sell clips like this (and heaps of other stuff), as "genuine WW2". Now I don't think they are. See Warbaby Two, "approval granted (For Production) on 30.8.45." Who is right, the seller or me ? Does anyone know when they first appeared ........ Bill ?. Many thanks, Mike.

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. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Mike you are right. While strippers were being developed as early as 1944 the use of them didn't really start till post war. They were in use by the Korean war and were in wide use by all of the UN troops equiped with US weapons.
