    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 ...

    What young looking Germanicon soldiers. Probably confused as to why their Japaneseicon allies are fighting them.

    I have read of a Korean man drafted into the Japaneseicon army fought against the Russians in Manchuria, taken prisoner conscripted into the Russianicon army, taken prisoner by the Germans and THEN was taken prisoner in Normandy by US forces.

    Korean

    His name is Yang Kyoungjong. He is the only known man to have fought in the Imperial Japaneseicon Army, Sovieticon Army and then the Germanicon Wehrmacht. He was captured by the Americans on Utah Beach in June 1944.

    Wonder if he ever went back to Russiaicon I am sure they would have bestowed on him "Hero of The Motherland" award then tied him to a post and shot him or sent to a Gulag in Siberia even if he was a POW of the Germans he defected from his army to fight for them 2 losing sides out of three not a good lottery that one.
