    Great picture. As a Britishicon webbing collector, I'm interested to see three of them are wearing items of 1944 Pattern webbing. Not something I would have associated with AFV crew usage.

    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 ...

    I got my pair of goggles a little under priced, years ago, because the chap selling them said that they were not ex RAF and he went onto "explain" that to be ex RAF they should have broad arrow markings and not the "A.M." markings that this pair of goggles have. I tried to explain to him that "A.M." stood for "Air Ministry and was/is on the majority or wartime RAF kit but he wouldn't have it. He couldn't tell me what he thought "A.M." stood for but he didn't think it had anything to do with the RAF. I paid him what he asked and didn't try to knock him down.

    A certain amount of it was used in Korea, as it was by then regarded as 'special to Far East'.

    Even given the theatre of ops, where '44 Patt was pretty much general issue at that time...?
