    SAS SOLDIER - IRANIAN EMBASSY SIEGE AUCTIONS HIS MEDALS

    Sad to see Ian selling his medals to finance his retirement. One has to assume WO2 pensions don't go far these days!!
    I think with his past and his SAMA/NI medals it should go beyond that......Sad though

    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 ...

    You would think that after serving the country with honor; that he would be eligible for a decent retirement. I find that shameful!

    Not much different from Michael Diamond, Trap Shooter, here in OZ.
    He was charged and convicted with firearms offences, thrown out on appeal, but had accumulated that much debt fighting the case, he had to sell one of his Olympic Gold Medals.
