I have some similar things from the US in WWII. Not sure where I have them. Got them at a yard sale years ago. They are round tokens that look like coins that were used as change for the ration...
Good luck. I steer clear of his rallies here because they are a nightmare. Massive crowds, traffic at a standstill. Lines starting over 24 hours before he's even scheduled to appear. A mile walk...
eBay pickup, seems in decent shape, I thought most of these would be canvas but leather seems to be common.
Just need the blasted grips. Starting to look like I may need to make a set out of...
Happy Birthday Mike.
It probably is but the outboard engine on the right wing was blowing oil out the rear of the cowling.
Yesterday was rainy so outside dealers were non-existent. My usual guys under the pavilion didn't show up either. We went to an antique shop I don't get much at typically but I found a Barclay toy...

I'm pretty lucky as we have a big WWII weekend about half an hour away every D-Day anniversary. Fifi is there every year, Doc was there once. They have B-17's there every year also but none this...
I'm on a roll. Up close and personal with a B-17 last weekend and actually in a B-29 this weekend.
Doc, one of two flying B-29's is in Allentown this week. Has been there since Monday and is...
Couple of items today at an antique shop. WWII era 1944 water resistant sleeping bag cover. Tag is present but can't be read. Later ones had large tags fully sewn to the edge, this has the cloth...
You have a bayonet for the M91 rifle, you have an M38 rifle so no, you do not have the right bayonet. M38 bayonets are rather expensive, in the $200-$300 range unless you get one of the modified...

Sunday we went to the Dover Air Force Museum. My computer is acting up and I can barely type without it going nuts. I have 650 photos and will try to get a few posted when I can. We were at this...
Our trip to Delaware was pretty productive in terms of learning about military history. We first went to FT Miles which was a WWII shore battery installation. We had been there before, many years...
I'm beginning to think that may be what happened. The upper edge is rough to about the halfway point, almost like the blade was cast and they didn't finish the edge, then it is smoother, ground...
I have a family trip this weekend that I forgot all about. So I can't hit any yard sales or my regular shops. Hoping I find something where we are going. I'll enter withdrawel. On the positive...
I did look at it closer. The finish (color) is the same, but the milling is different. Not sure what that means. I would think the color would be different if it was done later but it is a...
Yes, it was made this way. At least it looks that way to me.
Found another one no one wanted which I don't understand with this one as it's from the Vietnam era. Can't find any information on it but it has the correct markings for Vietnam issue.
I was the...
Go to Gunbroker and you'll find out in about 3 days. There's one listed on there right now. Sitting at $305 at present.
The shell is Russian, for the S-60 anti-aircraft gun. Possibly made in 1974.
More munitions today. The first is a BLU 26/B Inert Cluster Bomblet:

Well, I saw a bunch of rifles for sale at a flea market today. No handguns which would require a transfer no matter what but he had a dozen rifles, all older but no antiques. This is a guy I would...
Yard Sales not much this morning, just a souvenir plate from the Patton Museum
