    The Battle for Plaman Mapu April 1965

    I was asked if I would put this up on the forum so the one hour documentary on this unknown battle in a forgotten war could be accessed more easily, as many of our members cannot get Forces TV.

    I hope you enjoy it, it was something I had to do, to highlight the sheer bravery of a few, against overwhelming odds by close friends and colleagues of mine from The Parachute Regiment, who I am immensely proud.

    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.
