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). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Your right BAR, a Triumph it is. The spring is identical but the front end itself is a tad different then the Model H you linked to,, maybe a beefier military version....

Hmmm,,, German icon

Edit,, this is the first time since my accident 6yrs ago I've discussed motorcycles,,,, big step for me...

For those who are interested, Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk has the book "Adventures of a Motorcycle Despatch Rider" by Capt. W.H.L. Watson in Kindle and hard copy editions. It is a good read and offers some insight into, and a different perspective of, the early days of WWI.

Those blokes are keen!

Pretty sure I would not want to do a spin around something like the Nurburgring dressed like that.
