    We had a Company of Gurkhas in 2 PARA for a year or so, issued with said beret as well, many had done P Company but for various reasons things didn't work out, I think they had a hard job absorbing contract catering in the cookhouse

    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. Brian Dick ...

    The 1907 bayonet by Mole is desirable because, as Cinders has stated, it is from one of the less prolific makers but also because the blade appears to be in reasonably good condition with not too much corrosion. The whole bayonet could be rejuvenated quite easily but I would suggest leaving it to whom you sell it to, to clean up, unless you know what you are doing. This is because more harm than good could easily be done to this item which would reduce it's value.

    You could have just issued them goats as live rations and let them carry on(some currie too). The feed would have been delish...just bring a few beers and join them.

    As a matter of interest, the 5GR badge on the scabbard is the POST 1952 version of their badge.
