I remember learning about these from the UK published WW2 history magazines available in the 70s* -- still have a collection of them somewhere.
Nice Mk III SMLE, too.
*"History of the Second World War." Loved waiting for those to show up each week.
I just saw a complete hard-bound collection of all 96 issues on Amazon -- just north of 300 USD.Oh yes, I had a subscription for that magazine, I wonder what happened to them all? Big glossy pages with lots of photos, graphics and facts. I vaguely the advert for it on TV too.
Are these the binders they used to sell for collecting the magazines, or hard-bound and covered like the Amazon item above?More than one set in binders on Fleabay UK fat around £60
