    New Edition of "Carvings from the Veldt" - carved Anglo-Boer War firearms book

    Just got word from Dave George out of Australiaicon that the third edition of his book, "Carvings from the Veldt", will be coming hot off the press in December and is available for purchase. He has unearthed another 338 carved rifles, carbines and sidearms from the Anglo-Boer war.

    His books are great studies of the personal treatment given to rifles by Boer and, in some cases (post-war), soldiers who went to Southern Africa for this conflict. Lots of excellent photos.

    Dave will combine shipping of several books to save purchasers a bit of money.

    If the moderators will allow, here's a link to his website: http://www.boerwarriflecarvings.net

    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 would contact Dave directly. I saw somewhere he was advertising the earlier volumes at a discount. By the way Superbee, if my memory serves me correctly were you also looking for a D^D marked Mues sight? if you were there is one advertised on Ebay Australiaicon ant the moment, I'm in no way connected to the seller by the way, just a heads up LOL.
