    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.

    You're baiting me, isn't it?

    Here a few more pictures.
    We even made some strange meetings during our marching days in winter
    The summertime picture is at the end (almost) of a long patrol. Some friends from my platoon.

    You still look fit enough to me Ovidio to do a 10 mile route march.

    I've just hopped off my Blackbird after a 260 klm bike ride in 28 C heat fully kitted in Dryrider gear and man I feel the need for some Gentleman Jacks.......................Ice & Coke (The fizzy kind guys)

    Hi Cinders, luckily enough I’m still able to go up and down mountains easily. Though I played 25 years American football, I never injured myself in the legs, so I’m fairly fit and still “movable”. It’s the neurons though.......

    I found a few pictures today.
    Gran Paradiso, Val D'Aosta, mid-May 1995.
    Here we were at 4000 meters, just under the top of the mountain, but we had to go back because we could not see the crevasses in the glacier anymore. Even the Alpieri (guides) said that it was way too dangerous.
    What a pity.
    We climbed form the Rifugio Vittorio Emanuele (2700 meters) up to there in less than 2 hours with a real snow storm going on. What a time!
    No Gore-Tex for us then. We had the heavy cotton jackets (we called Cacca-Tex, or ****-Tex) and a lot of wool on ourselves.
    There was also a company of Frenchicon Chasseurs des Alpes with us, but I can't remember how they were equipped.
    I was accompanying two Swedishicon officers from the Norbottensbrigaden who were on an organised exchange with our Brigade. They had good equipment!
    We just had the "attributes", and that has always been enough for the Alpini!

    From the valley floor (Pont) to the Rifugio, the day before, we had fabulous weather.
    Then we got the storm.
    We went up the route with the continuous red line (the right one) and stopped right under the last rocks before the top.
    On the way back, the day after, we crossed path with a flock of steinboks (or rock goats). Fantastic moments!
