    THE ARMOURER

    A REME welder, a VM and an Armourer are standing before GOD at the throne of heaven.

    GOD looks at the welder first and asks, "What is it you believe?" - The welder looks GOD in the eye and states passionately, "I believe the Corps to be the pillar of all things. Nothing else brings so much professional fulfilment and the desire to attain the highest peaks, I have devoted my life to being a good welder and getting the best from the team"

    GOD considers this, looks up and offers the welder the seat on his left.

    He then turns to the VM, and you, what is your belief. The VM stands tall and proud, "I believe courage, honour are the fundamentals of life and I've spent my whole career providing a living embodiment of these traits"

    GOD, moved by his passion of the speech indicates the seat to his right.

    Finally, he turns to the Armourer, what is it you believe?"

    "I believe".... the Armourer said ".. that you're sitting in my seat."

    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.
