    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.

    Of course I was speaking merely of "Cold War" days.

    Now that Germanyicon at least is "at war with Russiaicon" according to her greenshirt defence minister I suppose you take your chances!

    But when the Leopard tanks arrive in Ukraine will people start calling them "panzer" since that is the german word for tank or will they still be called tanks so as not to "upset" Russia?

    I doubt the Russians will be any more upset than they are now, though they have reportedly stated that the use of DU projectiles in those tanks they will consider to be the introduction of "dirty" nuclear devices into the conflict, and will respond accordingly.

    One could ponder on that for a few moments?
