    Sniping in France and other Classic Books

    This post is a result of a PM to Badger, who suggested I post the information so all of us can enjoy some of the old classic books. When he reviewed "Sniping in Franceicon 1914-1918" by Major H. Hesketh-Pritchard, Badger was correct in stating that it was out of print.

    However, lucky for us, there ARE REPRINTS AVAILABLE AT A MODEST PRICE.

    The following books are reprinted, and available right now:

    Sniping in France 1914-1918 Maj. H. Hesketh-Pritchard $42.50
    A Rifleman Went to War H.W. McBride $29.95
    The Emma Gees H.W. McBride $19.95
    Sniper on the Eastern Front Sepp Allerberger $34.95
    With Britishicon Snipers to the Reich Capt. C. Shore $29.95
    Ordinance Went Up Front Roy F. Dunlap $34.95

    All prices in U.S. Dollars. These books and a lot more too numerous to
    list here are available from: Lancer Militaria
    P.O. Box 1188
    Mt. Ida
    A.R. 71957-1188
    U.S.iconA.

    Lancer Militaria has a website, and their entire line of books can be seen there, and you can even download their catalog.

    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.

    Sniping in France on E-Bay

    I just picked up a copy of "Sniping in Franceicon" by Hesketh-Pritchard, on E-Bay. It is one of the reprints, and I bought it for a friend.

    The cost was $10.06 plus shipping.

    If you have a book you are looking for, it is worth trying E-Bay about once a week. Usually the sellers put their items on for seven days, so a once a week check can find your item.

    Sometimes I wonder whether we're adding any value to the collector community with all of this time consuming work building the library.

    Great find on the electronic version of "The Emma Gees" ...

    It's a really good read and I always enjoyed my hard copy, which I had trouble finding and it was expensive. Now we can share it electronically with a very wide collector audience for free.

    Thanks again ...

    Regards,
    Badger
