    Probably a little more unusual in being a para helmet shell. I did entertain thoughts of removing the handles & feet & welding up all of the holes. It would be possible, but in the end I decided to just leave it as it is. I have another original FJ helmet shell that would be a better prospect for restoration, if I ever get around to it.

    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 ...

    It still ends up being a restoration and although scarce, this is another story completely. I had heard of people seeing para shells being used as flower pots on Crete...

    I was happy with paying just £50 for a reproduction para helmet. The quality is excellent.
