    Vickers MG Study: L1053 with battle damage

    In the next episode of our 'gun study' series, we take a look at .303-inch Mark I 'L 1053' that dates to June 1915. This gun is particularly interesting on two counts: firstly, it has sustained battle damage and has had a series of repairs to the barrel casing and, secondly, it is stamped with 'E Y' for emergency use ball firing only - something not usually seen on anything other than rifles.

    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.
