    Help I’ve fallen ........

    So about seven months ago, I fell off a 10 ft ladder and broke a vertebrae in my back. The worst part was not the pain, discomfort, drugs, therapy, or even having to use a cane and walker for several months.

    It was being out of commission and missing out on buying a copy of Gil’s book Snipers down South. He has sold out all 200 copies.

    If someone has an extra copy they would sell please let me know. It would help the healing process.

    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.

    Gil, Frank.

    The book arrived today and is both awesome and amazing. The several first person narratives by individual snipers are particularly of interest.

    Thank you both so much. This is a great piece of work and will become a valuable part of my library.

    David

    Gil and Frank are thinking about doing another run of books soon. Please encourage them by committing to buy a copy if they become available.

    I guarantee that you will not be sorry.

    Depending on how this virus goes it might be before the end of the year. We are not even in the TIER system yet like up north of Englandicon in the highest TIER 3, so if that continues and people stay sensible down here and the post stays the same we should be ok.
    Watch out for notifications.
