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.

Top pic, note the 1907 sling on the #1 Lee...I don't blame him personally.

I get the feeling that the soldier on the rifle is up to some funny stuff and hid the center guy's rifle

Notice the Lewis before they were taken away,and they inflicted the chouchat on the AEF.

The first photo - the Kraut red cross fellow - that's Mark Wahlberg, no? Yet the Yankee is definitely the young Lee Van Cleef. Jeez, I'm really confused now...
