    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.

    Glad to see you, Jim. Will try. Things hectic here for holidays. Horns really darkened with age.

    Well, I got three out of that. Looks good, the big one would be the "storage" type I think. Then doled out to the smaller ones. There's a bit of conjecture attached to that but still. Now they shall come...you'll get a better answer shortly. Looks very nice. What's the measurements on this one Kab?
    Regards, Jim

    Sounds like the big horn used to fill smaller ones...

    Still a nice piece Kab, I'm surprised a few more haven't drifted by to look.
