    I Have a Camo Uniform Problem....

    I am just about out of physical space to continue my collection of Post-WW2 International Camouflage Uniforms! Approximately 400 "Keeper" uniforms are hanging and 250 Trade/Sale items are stacked on the floor. I am going to have to branch out into another room in the house!! My Wife will not be amused...

    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.

    It's important to understand that one needs to get one's priorities right, in your case, the need for more space.

    I once knew a chap who thought that he might be able to "get into his wife's good books" by having a "Sale Of The Century", selling off all his stuff really cheap, in "double quick time". Unfortunately I do not believe that his notion worked very well because he got divorced not long after.

    Just out of curiosity, what would you deem the weirdest camofluage pattern that you have?

    Hmmmm, good question! Probably the strangest is an Indonesian Fire Rescue pattern, "La Bomba" as I was told they call it. Bright orange Lizard stripes - you can make it out in the 3rd photo; standing out from the crowd. It makes sense once you understand that it is about morale and being visible in low-visibility, natural disaster conditions.

    That would probably be me if I could collect one thing. I have to have everything however so I only have a few items of many different things.

    I inherited my late father's "home front" collection and rather than dispose of it I have added to it. I have "fully embraced" it by having some of the items such as the "home front helmets" on display in my lounge, on purpose made shelving that I have made. 4 of the helmets my own family members wore during WW2.
