    Boxes Tools Armourers Aust Filled

    Well after a long time in waiting, I finally have got my Armourers box home. From what was left in the box and what I had already collected, I think its well on its way to been complete. If only I had a CES list to help. Its still missing a few SMLE tools and bits, including the vice and its legs.

    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.

    I can see all sorts of identifiable tools in there but most of it is duplicated. The usual Armourers hand tools etc etc. Most of these and the ones you show in the other threads are meaningless unless you have them alongside a scale.

    Ask owner to correct the spelling on the box too.......

    nice collection.

    i don't know what 1/2 of the stuff in there is for but my wallet has gone limp at the thought of filling that box to the extent it is.

    Is that a mainspring clamp for the Enfield & Snider Enfield?

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
