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.

I would guess it's for the 1917 / 1919 series and the M2HB series of Browning MGs . No idea of from what , but with the white paint I'm going to guess a tank ?

Just a guess but it looks like it came from a ship or a tank as stated by emmagee. Possibily a mount for something?

**emmagee1917** · 07-23-2011 12:54 PM

With the bolt hole on the side , I'm going to go further out on the limb and guess a co-ax MG tank mount.

Chris, You are correct, it is a co-ax mount next to the 75 or 76 mm cannon. A BMG M1919A4 fits this mount (note the solenoid) and is fired by foot control, if I remember. This mount was removed as a souvenir for an army friend in FLA, who recently found it and sent me the photos. The tanks were going to the 3.5 rocket launcher range as targets. The mount really is not worth anything but you never see then either .

So we're saying WW2 M4 Sherman ?

I could be wrong as it was a very long time ago but I do think it was a Sherman

**Harlan (Deceased)** · 07-25-2011 09:50 PM

Cool! I have the armored interphone for a Sherman.....

We only need a few more parts and if we all pool together maybe we can put one back together

**RCS** · 07-25-2011 10:00 PM

Harlan, I may still have a (very large) extractor for the 75mm shell from a Sherman. If I find it will take a photo

**emmagee1917** · 07-26-2011 11:57 AM

That looks like my neck of the dirts. Could that photo be taken east of Yuma , just east of Telegraph Pass and south of the freeway ?
