    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.

    Maybe the lighting but the receiver on the Garandicon almost seems to be in the white...

    Wasn't Isle Koch at Buchenwald what a nasty piece of kit she was, she used to walk her 2 Rottweilers through the yards and laughed when they tore up and killed the weakened captives along with having lamp shades made out of the tattooed skin from prisoners she selected to have killed and then skinned. The war crimes caught up with her....................

    At least four separate witnesses for the prosecution testified that they had seen Koch choose tattooed prisoners, who were then killed, or had seen or been involved in the process of making human-skin lampshades from tattooed skin.However, this charge was dropped by the prosecution when they could not prove lampshades or any other items were actually made from human skin.

    A series of short films presented by Stephen Feinberg, from the United Statesicon Holocaust Memorial Museum, explore the myths and misconceptions about the Nazi period and the Holocaust that students may bring with them to the classroom.

    The Nazis routinely made soap out of human fat and lampshades out of human skin
