    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 ...

    The first thing I noticed was no unit badges. The next was overseas caps. Then only one set of stripes.

    I'm wondering if this may be a unit posted to Ireland in 1942? Right in the beginning...? Don't remember more...

    They do not look too squared away. Looks like they need a good NCO.

    I get the impression they were living in some pretty primitive conditions there. Probably not many ironing boards or wash stands.

    Yes, first on the right, rear row, second man in center, a couple down front rank. Seems to be more than the M1910.
