    Question of curiosity

    Just out of curiosity.

    Do people on this forum collect anything else?
    I collect old coins.

    Where do people keep their collection? On display or stored/hidden away?
    I have mine stashed away.

    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 collect glass target balls, vintage ammo boxes,early Winchester calendars and advertising, anything related to the Northwest Mounted Police and Northwest Rebellion of 1885, Bowie knives, traps, powder tins, decoys, Wild West Show Programs from Buffalo Bill's show, Winchester rifles and early Colt revolvers just to name a few things. I display them in my man cave and enjoy many hours in my room finding items I haven't seen in years

    Residuals Of Eclectic Taste

    Used to collect Japaneseicon swords, fountain pens, pocket watches, RISE model airplane engines, some other stuff. Usually my interest shifted and I moved on, recycling much of what I'd previously obtained. Don't collect much of anything anymore, now living on a fixed income in the People's Republic of Taxiforniastan, waiting for the Prop 13 axe to fall. More interested in offloading what I still have rather than getting additional stuff in light of my increasing years versus declining physical condition.
