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.

Neat picture. Check out the spacing on the shadows. Those Marines are squared away.

Whenever I see a photo like this I can't help but wonder how many of those fine young men made it through the war. God Bless the Marines and all others that have seved our country over the years.

Their height was also quite uniform. Sea going Marines , cream of the crop. Dad call them "Sea Going Bellhops", as only another Marine could.
