    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 ...

    Not the same guys I was involved with though, which was the one affiliated to the now disbanded Recce Veterans Association.
    Just the thing for putting round holes in square heads.

    My 2 repro Para Helmets

    Here are my 2 repro WW2 Germanicon para helmets which I purchased 2nd hand off eBay but they were in new condition. They are both basically the same repro helmet by the look of it but one of the previous owners decided to give one the "cammo-look". I haven't done anything to them apart from varnish the decals on the grey example. I am very pleased with these repro helmets for what they are, the price and when this is compared to the asking price of an original.

    That tri-colour camo scheme was commonly used by the FJ in the Normandy campaign, the camo colours being copied from the scheme used on German vehicles and armour at the time.
