    Insane PH Sling Swivel auction

    I'm curious if anyone saw the eB auction for two PH sling swivels that finished yesterday. One was an angled swivel (LE action screw) and the other was a PH swivel with wood screw.

    It was £5 until the last minute and I had a snipe placed for a max of £10, so I was sure I'd get it.

    However, these two swivels sold for a whopping £127 (approx. $155 USD)!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Is it just me or is that totally insane??

    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.

    You can comfort yourself that a) you are a sensible bloke and b) in the knowledge that you could very quickly make yourself a couple of exact replicas for that. Or even better still, make several good copies and sell them off!

    It is sadly what "some" people will pay for these items........ridiculous amount.
