Pattern 37 Gear

If it's WWII dated and in good shape you can get some decent money for it. If postwar or no dates it still sells, just not for as much. Seems to be a lot of it around in unissued condition so that seems to keep the market down to a degree compared to US stuff. Unissued US stuff can cost a small fortune.

Anyone know how the rangefinder in the binoculars works? I'm having no luck finding instructions for it. Has a very long side to side and a short vertical. I thought most of these used vertical based on the height of a person.

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.

Compass case came today and it's a pistol ammo pouch so back to eBay on that one. Compass came yesterday. Appears someone removed the radium and replaced it with white paint which I'm OK with. Kind of freaked out when I heard they are hazardous. Still planning to test it somehow to see if there's anything residual with it. Very early production based on serial number.

I guess I am going to have to find out what all this stuff is. Some greenish canvas, some early 40's, some 50's

You definitely have a little of everything...

I would not mind that ammo pouch...

The Green is most likely postwar. The khaki could be WWI or WWII stuff but was also used postwar as well for a while. But production pretty much ceased when the war ended and they had a lot around for years afterwards.

I got the last of what I was looking for last week. A British icon

officers satchel. 7 months of watching eBay since my last purchase and I was looking for it for months prior to that. They were around but either very expensive or in bad shape.

ZLT was a Canadian icon

company in Guelph Ontario
Zepher Loom and Textile.
Another common Canadian company of web was MSU
Montreal suspender and underwear

Yeah, this stuff is a mix from all over. Canada icon

and UK

make up most of it. I think there's at least one Australian icon

item in there somewhere.
