    Tomb of The Unknown Soldier Guards Vs Blizzard

    I have always had the greatest admiration for the soldiers chosen to guard the Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier. A very elite group.

    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 ...

    Ever been? Goose bump inducing. Zero tolerance of any infringement of the Plaza, even the wheel of a baby stroller will elicit a warning from the Sentinel.
    I think I remember some years back some coo coo bird tried to attack the tomb with a hammer and got his head smashed in.

    I have seen videos only and they illicit goosebumps as well. The detication and dicipline required is awe humbling & inspiring.

    When you think what the tomb contains, it's a small thing to stand your watch over him. Then you go shower and change...
