    So it's Keeler not Keller

    Bored while on light duty because of fresh stiches in the head, I've started trying to organize my Magazines. You know, get something done and look organized.
    Over the years I used this Carbine Mag ID site for reference:
    M1 Carbine 15 rnd Magazines

    Today I dug out a catch all misc mag box with some M3 'Grease Gun' mags I had stowed away. I sidetracked to look in to the maker and came across Keeler Brass Co.

    So all this time I'm thinking my K-IP, K-II, K-S'G', I-P-K, etc mags were Keller Brass Co like the link has listed, but now know it is Keeler Brass Co of West Michigan.

    So tuck away this trivial FYI. Maybe tomorrow I can clear up the mess I started today .
    Seems like I remember a Canteen here that was Keller....... I mean Keeler, I'll have to look in the Kit Dept.

    Cheers All

    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.

    Going Off Topic

    Last year my Wifes health took a turn for the worse. Some forum friends were aware of it. She has Parkinson's and her meds got all out of whack. I became a 24-7 caretaker. At times I didn't sleep for a few days at a time. It seriously took just this side of going to jail to get all her Doctors on the same page and do a Medicine Evaluation. She's 5'6", her weight had dropped from about 142 to 96lbs. She was experiencing extreme hallucinations, not even knowing who I was most of the time. I couldn't get her admitted in to the hospital because all they were letting in were Covid and basically ready for death bed patients. Her main medicine for Parkinson's is Sinemet. As her symptoms worsened they kept increasing the Sinemet mixing higher strength time released with Instant release. Finally after months of screaming for and trying to get other opinions U of M did a Med review and they found she had Toxic levels of it in her. She couldn't walk, stand, concentrate or communicate and was wheelchair bound. Toughest thing we've been thru by far as a by stander. Office visits are a thing of the past around here. They want to handle everything thru a Q&A via a online Portal. Or diagnose you thru a zoom meeting. I really thought I was going to loose her. Things have slowly improved with her still fragile but mobile. She's up to 116lbs and can understand, communicate, cook (Thank God) and no longer having the severe Hallucinations. Pretty much fully functioning like before, but still building her strength and not yet confident to drive yet again.

    Had a similar situation with my bride some years ago. Glad things seem to be working out.

    I'm so glad to see you back. I've been missing your bright demeanor and knowledge. I'm so glad to hear your wife is doing much better. I'm looking forward to your posts!

    Appreciate the kind thoughts.
    I missed everyone and felt bad about not being able to return PM's and Emails. Still trying to catch up on PM's and Emails. Before I just didn't have time. Really had my hands full with no family near. I returned messaged a few guys and asked if they could just let anyone asking that I had family health issues to tend to.

    To a healthy year for all
