    We used to train on a very small island off of Okinawa Called Whiskey 174. In between bombing runs we had time off to rest and swim. No matter where you swam the entire ocean floor for as far as I could walk out was covered by all kinds of ordinance. Tons and tons of empty casings and a few, possibly inert, possibly not, still contained their rounds laying everywhere. I never really gave it much thought then but I am sure now that it was dangerous as hell and a stupid thing to do. I grabbed some empty casings as souvenirs but haven't seen them in years. If I come across them again, I will post some pics.


    I am on the right. Young Jarheads living and loving life.

    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.
