I sent Gil a message of a Parker Hale score book Aussie addition it is on that site in Australia icon

for an astronomical price $195.00/AU way above our price ranges though it did have a wind wheel in it rather unique I think, I thought I would share a score book that has a bit more history to it.
An A G Parker's score book (Before they became Parker Hale!) published in the year 1915 it being the 28th edition there are only 2 entries in it the last dated 28/6/1924.
The reason I brought because it was a members book from the Subiaco Rifle Club in Perth Western Australia, I got it from that site from England icon

.
So this little book has had quite the journey....

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.

Do you know Mike Farrell he was a Captain of the cadet unit at the school I went to Perth Modern he taught me how to shoot the MK III .22 through the mosman tube on the 25 yard range we had on school grounds imagine doing that today near on the center of Perth discharging a firearm Oh my?

Would say so bloke there are not to many of that name that shot for Subiaco, Fairbairn another full bore shooter in Perth at Swanbourne he was the other Captain at the same school when I was in the Cadets '71 - '72 I used to mark at the butts to earn a few dollars to fuel my .22 rifle club postal shooting in East Perth, then to shotgunning to shoot clays at the Perth gun club near the air port all gone now though.

Yes, unfortunately Fullbore at Swanbourne is no longer either, WARA was finally moved on by the Dept of Defense - new range being built north of Perth - I started my fullbore marking as a young lad also, at the Albany range on south coast
