    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.

    There were thousands upon thousands of these in Iraq recently, from all over the old Empire. including Stens, Brens, old .38 Enfields etc etc. Don't forget that we supplied and equipped the Iraqi Army up to the 60's or so (and trained their Officers too until the 80's).

    Is that RNZEME on the badge DSKetcher?
