    My latest

    I found this in the local Auto Parts/Sporting Goods store




    It is a 175xxx 1917 vintage that looks all original to me (but what do I know) The story is that granfather brought it back from WW 1 and it has been in the family since then;




    A 1917 holster can with it




    I am not really interested in the holster, but since it looks like they have been together for a while I guess I should keep it that way.

    Did I do OK?

    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.

    Appears to be an above average, clean, straight, correct example of a 1917 M1911........
