    1942 Post Card from North Africa

    I have a small collection of naval ship cancellations and found this post card at a small stamp show. Major C.L. Nelson was in the II Corps which was defected with very heavy casualties at Kasserine Pass in Feb 1943.

    Also interesting is that Nelson's Flower Shop is still on Broad St in Grove City PAAttachment 87820Attachment 87821

    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.

    I thought they were not allowed to tell anyone where they were.
