    Pearl Harbor Anniversary Dec 7th 1941

    Its been 78 years since the Japaneseicon attack on Pearl Harbor. I have some photos of the US Navy ship postmarks (all before Dec 7th) of the ships that were at Pearl Harbor. I had collected these envelopes many years ago.Attachment 104150Attachment 104151Attachment 104152Attachment 104153

    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 ...

    Earlier in the year I found myself explaining the Japaneseicon attack on the US fleet at Pearl Harbour to a younger co-worker because he had never heard of it and knew nothing about it.

    The other day I explained to another younger co-worker that if you want something it does actually help to say please.

    One does have to wonder exactly what is taught in schools these days?

    Definitely NOT survival or self-help skills. This new breed is being taught to depend on big gov't and not themselves. This is not local to you either, it's pretty much a "western" world thing...

    If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. Thomas Jefferson.
    Read it and weep.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
