Another find in the old house. Brought back from WW2. Anyone able to read the writting? B&W looked a bit clearer. Are these common.

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.

My uncle. He was a coxswain on a Higging's LCVP.

Jim,
There was a Forum that fellow member here AZPhil sent me to, when I was looking for info on the Japanese icon

flag I have. There they have a section where members living in Japan can ID the letters and item.
I've looked thru my password book but can't find my notes/password or name of the site.

I believe it was Military Relics Forum or War Relics forum but don't recall.
I don't have time now, but if you do try a message out to Phil...... He'll hook you up, or get the proper name of the site. Then I can try to ask and post your pictures there.

Don't call the items Jap........ they take offense to that there.
I'll try Phil while I have a few minutes before we leave.

Believe I found it..........

WW 2 - German, Soviet, Western Allies uniforms, awards, militaria. War Relics forum

I'll try your pics over there later...... maybe this evening.

Jim,

I posted your story and pics on the other forum. I'll link it later.
This link below has a lot of information to chew on, so
For now study this thread about the helmets and markings:

Japanese helmet, machine gun damage, japanese text inside cloth cover, translation?

**painter777** · 09-07-2018 08:12 PM

Print this off... it will come in handy when matching up symbols. It will make more sense after you read the thread.

Charlie,

What an effort you made, and you have the answers.

Many thanks. Jim

BTW, that gal caught a pretty damn good size catfish.

**AZPhil** · 09-09-2018 01:56 PM

I'm glad to see that others were helped out on WRF.
Good folks over there.
Nice helmet!!!

Jim,
Is there a Star or Anchor emblem on the front?
