There was one for sale quite recently on a French site, but it was expensive, so I did not enquire about it. I will see if it's still for sale. I do not know what they are worth, or indeed if they are rare. Maybe a collector could let us know what they are going for? ------------- It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice! |

heres the link: http://www.naturabuy.fr/Coupe-barbele-fusil-Enfield-n-3-14-18-item-1356700.html It's still for sale! Not surprising seeing as they are asking 245 Euro's. ------------- It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice! |

| that may be fairly close to the market in spite of giving us pause , these are hard to find and do not go cheap , shipping should not be an issue on that tho , |

Nice outfits! Very clean for the trenches . Apparently the French made the uniforms blue so they would blend in with the sky on the horizon! Don't think the soldiers appreciated that much! ------------- It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice! |

If the photo was in black and white you could probably convince someone it was taken in 1917! Is it hard to move in those uniforms with all the gear? It looks cumbersome and uncomfortable. Way Cool!! ------------- Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their planet!! |

The French soldiers trench coat is down to the ankles and lower flap corners would be fastened up close to belt level to allow more free movement when. Must have been real heavy when wet! I think the British soldiers fared much better with kit and the rifles! ------------- It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice! |

I didn't see Enfield wire cutters there, did I miss something? Has anyone here bought the new stripper clips? How are they? How about a little sepia, & some vignetting for a "period" look  ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs. (Unofficial motto of the Royal Air Force) |

Its OK, you're just misunderstanding a long running joke. Hoadie has been doing his impression of some older, crustier, members for years. The correct British term was "chargers", but the U.S. members refer to them as "stripper clip's" ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs.

Another welcome to the forum On a historical side note. In the original U.S. Patent for Paul Mauser's invention for quickly loading magazines. The German term Ladestreifen (Loading Strip) was translated as "Magazine Charger" ------------- Have a Nice Day If already having a nice day please disregard |

If you read my post again you'll see the comment was directed at my fellow moderator SHAMU!! Who has quite tightly explained it's a long standing forum joke involving our resident Canadian nut Hoadie.

Oh for goodness sake... look here you chaps. If you colonials will persist in the redicule of each other... I'm afraid that there will be only one course left open. We here in the ole country... Blighty... will have nothing left but to 'tax one most heavily'... again! Now then... behave! ;-)

AHEM! I, sir, am still a "Monarchist"(Well, so my friends say, anyway.) ..& you may be hard pressed to tax me more heavily than I am. Close to being taxed to more than I make, now! Hoadie ------------- Loose wimmen tightened here |
