    Elephant Company

    I read this book a couple years ago and will try and find it again. Really good read on how elephants were able to accomplish construction where vehicles couldn't, and how they were used to help refugees escape from Burma to India while being chased by the Japaneseicon in WWII.

    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).

    A guy that was in my unit long ago was a Vietnam vet with the Marines I believe. Not sure how he would up in the Army Reserves, he probably told me but I forgot. Elephants came up one day and he said they were prime targets for the artillery which he was part of. Never really heard that from anyone but him but he said he was there, he killed elephants. To me, I was rather shocked but they were the heavy construction tools in the region and were military targets.
