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.

The style of the bomb looks Italian icon

. Carabinieri perhaps.

my thoughts are the brits gave the italians equipment after they left the axis, most of italy anyway

If the badge was a BRITISH badge, it'd be The Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment)

**Garandrew** · 08-19-2013 04:03 PM

Peter, do you believe it to be Royal Fusiliers, London Reghiment? I see the similarity...

**Peter Laidler** · 08-19-2013 04:40 PM

It's just that it looks remarkable like the Royal Fusiliers badge

Guys on War Relics forum from UK icon

agree

One of my buddies bought one of these back in the 80s. It is a British icon

Dispatch Helmet for Motorcycle Couriers. It has the same shell as the British Para Helmet but has a different suspension
system. My friend thought about converting his to a Jump Helmet in fact. My take on the symbol is that it is Polish. If you watch the movie " A Bridge Too Far " The Polish Paratroopers have a similar marking on their Helmets.

Could be but did the Poles use despatch riders helmets, at Arnhelm?
