    Ralph H. Baer Ft. Riley Kansas small arms display and ID challange

    Ralph H. Baer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_H._Baer
    The father of the modern video game was was assigned to Military Intelligence during WWII and became an expert on military small arms. Baer returned to the United Statesicon with eighteen tons of foreign small arms for use in exhibits at Aberdeen, Maryland, Springfield, Massachusetts Armory and Ft. Riley, Kansas.
    These are original photos from the Ft. Riley Kansas display I came across.
    I thought it might be interesting to post these and see how many we could identify.
    Some are obvious and some vey obvious (lables visable) to even me a novice collector. Some not so much.I would also be intrested if anyone has any additional information on these displays. How long the displays were in place? What became ot the displays?

    PS: You may want to save the pictures in order to enlarge for detail.

    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).
