    A Very Honorable Service Today

    Today I had the honor of helping keep one of our most worshiped military cemeteries (the Sacrario di Redipuglia) open for visitors.
    12 hours mostly under the blazing sun, with a few intervals in the two small museum rooms (with light aircon).
    It was a catartic day. I thought a lot. Prayed. Welcomed people and helped them find refreshment or their relative’s tombs.
    Over 100.000 fallen are buried there. 60.000 and more are unknown. The rest are buried in individual tombs in a monumental valley.

    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).
