    Just for you Gil

    As promised I will start to up load pics from time to time of a Parker Hale catalog I have just purchased it is from from 1957 which is my vintage year.
    I am pretty lucky as who ever had this piece has gone through and actually priced allot of the items in Pounds-Shillings-Pence.
    Whilst we think some of the prices were cheap given the era and the wages they were as it is today an expensive hobby if you wanted to be top notch in your gear.
    (I can attest to that as like others here have sunk 10's of thousands into shooting with rifles and gear now guys are fronting at the club with $8,000.oo/Au Swarvo scopes!)

    Anyway It has 200+ pages and I will pick out a few of interest from time to time there are shooting tips in there as well along with all the rifles/Shotguns and apparel.
    Or if someone has a question about an item I will see if its in there.

    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.

    Bill tells me he has every leaflet and booklet ever produced by PH, and is leaving them to me in his will. He says his loft is creaking
