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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

I would have thought someone would have picked up this ball and run with it. I bought a set to display along with my USN Victory model S&W and have no idea if they are legitamate.

Looks to be a Naval/Marine Aviator's wings You can sort through and figure out who made them HERE on the page where I found them.

It looks like a navy warfare PIN. ITs gold so it was earned by an officer. Theres a bunch of them for surface warfare and sub warfare. there a bunch more also. i dont know what these are for maybe navy pilots? you have to go through a lot of classes and oralboards to earn them.

Thanks for all the comments. Since I have been collecting wings, I'm glad I got a pair of navy ones and didnt even realize.

Are these authentic or reproductions? Seem to have some patina but no markings.
Any opinions?
