    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.

    MG08

    Apologies to all - PHOTOBUCKET has changed its policy so I must now go back through old posts and alter. Hope all will be well but if not new photos and MG08 topics will still continue.

    I have recently seen it suggested that this style of ammo tin was originally made for the MG08 (pre Nazi era) but this information has not been confirmed. The source said that the identifying factors are the different handles and the lack of Nazi era markings. If this is correct it could be post WW1 but no later than when the Nazis came to power in the early 1930s. It also stated that these tins continued to be used through WW2 with the MG34 & MG42.

    WWI German Ammo Boxes

    Flying10uk your box is WWI. Corners and indents are also identifying factors between Imperial and later. Thanks for showing. When you have both 250 rd boxes side by side it is very clear. Sadly I do not have a post WWI example but here are some more random images of WWI boxes, including the 500 rd box which also differs..

    Thanks, MG1918, for that. Would the "correct" colour for WW1 Germanicon use in Europe be field grey, I'm guessing it would be? I only purchased the tin in post 48 because it looked different to all the other MG34/42 ammo tins in the pile. I didn't have a clue as to the reason in the difference in the appearance between this tin and all the others.
