    Anyone have a Clue ?

    I have this friend in Indiana and while she was digging up here garden to expand it she came across some items in a box. I know it looks Military, but I'm not going to get on it. I don't have a clue what they are I spent a couple of hours searching for her, but that's the most my Health allowed me.

    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.

    Good to see you Frank. The rifle clip is Carcano ammo, 6.5x52 I think. I have one downstairs in the collection too. Same markings. The projectile I can't say without measuring it, if you did it should be pretty easy to sort out.
    Regards, Jim

    See how close I can get with the projectile ~ judging by the frame of the chair back that you can just see in the top of the pic with the gaps the frame.
    I'll say the projectile could be between 75 & 90mm Dia this is my best WAG's just for fun.
