    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.

    Across the pond somewhere around the 38th parallel???

    It kills me seeing all these photos of soldiers with just helmet liners being worn. Most in these shots have the whole shebang on but the radioman doesn't. Is he using a compass???

    IS that a PRC 10 set? I'm Canadianicon and I never saw those sets. I saw the 106, 25,77,125,46...but not that one.

    I don't believe it is a PRC 10. this one looks like it has some kind of switch cover. And, I think the PRC 10 is narrower than this on pictured.
