"The Enfield Collector's Digest"

The Enfield Collectors Digest (ECD) resulted from several Lee-Enfield collectors getting together in 1992 to form a loose confederation of like-minded associates. The first issue of the ECD was published in January of 1993.

It was produced specifically for collectors of Lee-Enfield rifles and British & Commonwealth militaria and was published from 1993 through 2002.

Varying from four to six issues per year, the ECD functioned as a forum for exchange of information between collectors, a learning tool for new collectors, and a source for locating information related to collecting British and Commonwealth firearms and militaria.

By January, 2000, the ECD boasted subscribers in twelve (12) countries - Argentina, Australia, Austria, Canada, England, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa, Switzerland, and the U.S.

The subscriber base included individuals, major military museums and libraries, many organized collector's clubs and organizations, and the British MOD Pattern Room Library, the Canadian War Museum Library, and the Lithgow Small Arms Museum Library.

Each issue contained an assortment of the following features:

Articles about Lee-Enfield Rifles and other British and British Commonwealth firearms, accessories, and militaria, written by well known authors in the field as well as by subscribers. Well known contributors include Ian Skennerton and Peter Laidler, among others.

Comments from subscribers - personal observations about collecting Lee-Enfield rifles and other British military items.

Tips on new publications on British firearms, accessories, and other related subjects.

A subscriber question and answer column moderated by Paul M. R. Breakey, a well known American collector and Enfield historian and scholar.

Tidbits of information on a variety of subjects related to British Militaria. Both commercial and non-commercial advertisements of items For Sale, Wanted, or For Trade.

Although out of print since 2002, back issues are still available (in limited numbers) at a cost of $5.00 USD each, postage included, USPS Media Mail rate.  Postage outside the US, obviously, is extra.
