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.

Correct but how did you sort that out from the photo?

**RCS** · 09-27-2022 09:32 PM

same photo is in the book "American Thunder 11" by Frank Iannamico which is about the military Thompson submachine guns

Mark, also forgot that the US issued Thompson Model 1928A1 almost always had the horizontal front grip and never the vertical grip.

That what caught my eye in the photo and then remembered the photo in the Thompson book

Maybe very early issue Thompsons with the vertical grip (Model 1921) were issued to USMC and pre WW2 army l

The '28 will be an earlier model, not an "A1. If pilfered from the USMC that went through Aussie in the beginning of the war, it could be an old holdover '21 but probably not. The front grip gave way to a forestock so a sling swivel could be easily added for carry. Almost mandatory for military...

My dad told me they would turn the foregrip around and made it easier to hang onto.
