    Hi have this Mk3 compass that I got from my Dad who served in India in 1946.

    I also have a silk escape map, which I picked up at an Army surplus store in the 70s.

    And lastly I have an Irvin (very large) easily fits a 5'11" man

    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).

    Jim, Welcome to the forum. Very nice Irvin. (too warm for Berkley but a nice piece of history). My Dad spent the war at Naval Air Station El Centro California as a aircraft propeller mechanic.

    Thanks! Although I wanted to be a Marine, but what Britishicon boy isn't enamored with the RAF, the Spitfire and the Battle of Britain...

    The Irvin is nice. The sleeve zippers have been replaced, and a little tear at the shoulder blade has been nicely sewn, but otherwise it's in great shape. With appropriate size gloves, it's really warm. It will go with me in the bug-out kit. As will the compass. Even with the bubble, it's accurate and easy to use. And I've always been into maps, so that is a fave of mine. The printing is fabulous. You really need a loup to read around Berlin!
