    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.

    Pouch looks Britishicon. The slings both look familiar. I'll go take a look and see what I have them on.

    Dark sling has a buckle like the Japaneseicon but not the connection. Light sling has the color of Frenchicon slings but not the extra flap. My exposed rifles can't confirm either.

    Just a guess - but looks like a rare Britishicon manufactured double 50 rd drum pouch for the Thompson SMG

    Yeah, that's it...I was going to ask is it a gas mask bag? It's kind of cockeye'd so I can't tell...from here.

    If there are no /|\ id's on the slings they almost look like single point target rifle slings

    I will get some better photos of the pouch. The color is OD not the washed out color in the photo and had a lift the dot closure on the small compartment.

    That was my inclination on both but the light one is to narrow for a MAS sling and as you noted no tab.

    The middle picture looks very much like the leather and length adjusting pin from a snake buckle belt that may have been modified or shortened.

    (1) The pouch is not Britishicon, the hardware (buckle and lift the dot fastener) is U.S. in style and if the color is OD as you said in post #7, it is an American bag but for what purpose I have no idea.

    (2) The worn, medium brown sling is Swedishicon for the M96 Mauser.

    (3) The light color sling may be for a South American Mauser.

    Nice, I couldn't see that though... That would make it likely a US Musette bag then?
