    anyone remember Victoria Trading inc

    I found an old 1995 catalog from Victoria Trading, really interesting to look at now. I did some business with them, they were expensive on certain items but really had some un-common parts and weapons.

    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.

    Yes I do. Bought some Enfield parts from them ,some rare items . Their prices on Webley revolvers were too much and I would purchase what I wanted for less from others cheaper . They where located in Vermont .

    I do as well. Can't recall what I got from them, some minor tidbit no doubt.

    "J. R. The Webley King"...is he still with us somewhere?
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    shoot..just lost a long text...
    Anyhow, J.R. Sindon has I think shuffled off to the great beyond.
    He was pre selling a HUGE shipment of parts that were "one the water.
    He was one of many who were involved in the caper.
    It was a huge pile of parts from South Africa but he was well down in the food chain on that deal.
    There was also around 13 million rounds of ammo but being SA was on the embargo list it never happened or got half way and then the caca hit the fan.
    There were a couple of people involved in the deal and there were suits, counter suits and I do not think the ammo part of the deal made the US shores.
