    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.

    Looked at a lot of these over the years and they are either busted up or post war. Finally found a war dated Navy contract US Pith Helmet, January 9, 1945. Not perfect, has a small ding on the rim and the cloth is worn off the top in a small area.

    Neat pith helmet, by Hawley no less. You don't see many of those around now.

    In addition to the Camillus US Army pocketknife, I got yesterday, I stopped at two other antique shops and found these two toys, a Barclay Manoil Tank resembling a Frenchicon Renault and what was identified as a Marx cannon, haven't confirmed that yet of indeterminate type.

    Just bought a pair. One green one Kaki. Found a nice Navy device earlier for the Kaki one and scored a USMC device this weekend. Not certain if they are dated but the suspension is similar if not identical. I will check.

    Suspensions didn't change much over the years. Late war and post war are the same I believe. The contract numbers can be helpful with dating them. NXSX is a wartime Navy contract.

    I just scored a nice Navy device, paid more for it than the helmet but it was the only single screw one I could locate. I won't have it for a bit, being shipped.

    I checked off another of my bucket lists with a nice Zuckerman helmet on eBay the other evening. Coming from Englandicon, not sure when I'll have it. No painted marks but dated 1941 which is when most were made.

    One has a leather adjustment cord the other a shoelace type. I will research the numbers and try and post photos.
