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.

The Battle of Attu which took place on 11–30 May 1943, was a battle fought between forces of the United States icon

, aided by Canadian icon

reconnaissance and fighter-bomber support, and Japan on Attu Island off the coast of the Territory of Alaska as part of the Aleutian Islands Campaign during the American Theater and the Pacific Theater. In contrast with the tropical climate in the Pacific, Attu is the only land battle in which Japanese icon

and American forces fought in snowy conditions.

The more than two-week battle ended when most of the Japanese defenders were killed in brutal hand-to-hand combat after a final banzai charge broke through American lines.

off topic but interesting aspect of the battle for Attu

Story about two soldiers, an American sergeant and a Japanese icon

surgeon on Attu. The surgeon was Paul Nobuo Tatsuguchi. Sad and fascinating book.

Hi Bear,
I read the book. Very interesting story. I found the focus on the consequences of war, even decades after its end, really moving.
Also the description of the lives of two such different people, of their origins, upbringing, fate...
What happened to them and/or (in Paul Nobuo's case) families.
Not your usual war book.
Thanks for letting me know it.

I'm reading "Russia icon

's Last Gasp" from Prit Buttar now.
A tad heavy...
