    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.

    A little of everything...M40s stick grenades, the guns, a rifle.... Looks like it was an enemy position and I wonder if they're actually examining things?

    I'd like to own that camouflaged Germanicon helmet to the left of the foxhole.

    Interesting that it would have 2 MG42s and I can see why the feldtelefon is there, but why a radio?

    There's lots of gear there and from what I see, that hole has had lots of use, extended... 2xMGs, two or three helmets, a rifle and another possible SMG there, grenade plus...it speaks of a position that's got substantial manning and permanence... I think these guys are having an Int. search...

    Agreed, give the interest given to the radio in particular.

    i really wouldn't want to be tasked with coming up that gully against 2 MG42's.

    I wonder what happened to the original occupants. is that blood down the wall between the two guys? either way it doesn't look like they were expecting trouble and there isn't brass everywhere.

    Hard to say, I do see cartridge brass there though.
