    Dragged behind the truck...

    A lot of 1918 pistols look like they were dragged behind the truck, but every once in a while...you run into a really nice one.

    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 knew the pistol was crisp while I was considering to purchase it, but had no idea how new it really was until I got it home, wiped all the crud off and photographed it. I sure am thankful those before me who possessed it had enough sense to properly preserve it.
