    early USMC/USN shovel covers

    Both of theses covers are marked from a US Navy ship, I believe
    these covers date to the WW1 time period. I am told that the
    off-sett hanger is USMC style. These are difficult to locate.Attachment 63606Attachment 63607Attachment 63608

    That MD stamp is interesting too

    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. Brian Dick ...

    VERY nice! They're extremely difficult to acquire in any condition and those look great.

    I love the photo with the 1903 stock!

    I'm always amazed at how much of this collector stuff was simply called "surplus" when I was a kid. Want a camp shovel? Go to the army surplus store and get a folding shovel and case for $2! It's that simple. Not anymore...
