A Christmas shopping distraction.

**Flying10uk** · 12-21-2016 04:14 PM

While trying to make a start with my Christmas shopping today I got distracted and ended up with this. This was caused by an inability to pass an Antique shop without having a look inside.

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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

The marking resembles mine. Sort of...

I think Santa would approve. As long as any significant other receives a gift of comparable value.

Pick her up a nice Patton saber.

I like the way you think. A friend found an empty scabbard for his Patton Saber at a show a couple of weekends ago.
Don't think Santa or his wife knows about that purchase. But when is the last time you saw one?

Just the scabbard? Never, but the curio shop down town here had two swords complete a couple years ago...or so.

I asked the shop to wrap it up well with paper and tape because I didn't want to get arrested on the walk back to my car.

I wonder if what looks like "64" could be the year it was made?

I took mine to be a rack number like the way a rifle is marked.
