I'm not disputing it, but like I said, a most phenominal memory that almost defies belief. Like asking me to remember the history of all the weaponry that's still here when I can't even remember my name most days!

John Sukey on Culvers Shooting Page Enfields doesnt believe it either, but I think Joe is honest...Perhaps he just bought them
What a load of cobblers.
(Amatikulu, vertaal asseblief)
Isn't Page a town?
ROFL....... :rofl:
I think that Frikkie the sheep might actually be on to something :D
Found this reference the 841st that lends some support to the PAGE theory
"I recently acquired a Japanese Type 99 rifle that was brought back by a veteran of the 841st EAB. His name and "841 ENG" along with "1943 1946" are stamped into the wood beneath the buttplate".
Seeking info: 841st Engineer Aviation Battalion

Thats the man, according to the dealer in NH..Joe Salter..now did Page bring these back? The Lith is marked "AUSTRALIA", no other imports
Might that not have been going a little too far? Isn't this why we have name badges? Sorry - bad taste, but I am tired and I am hallucinating about buying another Long Branch...Quote:

Just my opinion, but if that's the case, then I think he monetarily devalued his pieces by stamping it with such a large personal "name" identification directly into them. :rolleyes:Quote:

If it was insurance or recovery identification purposes, there must be less "gawdy" and destructive ways to accomplish that goal?
