    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.

    Just an example of art imitating life. Of course, he earned his right to carry it whatever way he wished.

    That was back when a rounder could always go into the Marines or Army to escapejail. The service often squared them away. These days a record can disqualify you for enlistment.

    I love the story, true or not, about the guy whose sergeant demanded he recite the serial number of his Springfield rifle... The guy shouted "One, Sergeant!" Turned out he really was issued #1... they immediately grabbed it from him and sent it to the SA Museum
    Real men measure once and cut.

    The Rolex would be worth far more than the M1icon $ wise. Paul Newman's Rolex Daytona sold for $15.2 Million.
    I am going to find a good Lee Marvin movie to watch.
