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.

I don’t know what the badge is, but it’s the one Bernard Bresslaw had on his beret in the Army Game series if that helps.

I wonder if it’s related to the Army Education Corps as it looks like a closed book in the centre.

hi, same badge worn in carry on sergeant, still haven't found out what it is yet,

**Peter Laidler** · 02-26-2018 06:53 AM

Not the old RAEducation Corps. That was a flaming torch. That badge is a concoction of odds and sods but I can't identify of the bits

The bottom part is broken in that picture. Should look like this:

Whats the matter with you lot.............its the" Royal Army Nomty Corps" made exclusively for Elstree Studios and the comedy strips, as the Ministry of Defence as it was then, would not allow current or serving Regiments badges under Her Majesty the Queen to be worn during "film making". Nothings changed its the same today!

mmmm wild geese ?

Phil,
Reference Wild Geese, exactly the same, there are small anomalies on each Regimental badge they produced for the film, so the viewer would accept it was the correct badge worn at first glance.
Take for instance the Parachute Regiment badge worn by Hardy Kruger or those by Burton the Crowns are'nt relevent to HM The Queen 1953 on, and one assumes they also knew of the copyright laws!!
Also Roger Moore as a supposedly ex Irish Guards Officer his badge would be woven gold wire not a silver cap badge as an Officer!
