Hello everyone!

My name is Claude VILLENEUVE and I am taking this opportunity to introduce myself. I am still a serving officer in the Canadian Forces with three operational deployments.

As a military parachutist I have a vested interest in WW2 British/Canadian Airborne Forces (Parachute and Glider). I take every opportunity to talk about the proud but ephemeral 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion and to show my gear to young Canadian Army paratroopers and general public on occasions such as Remembrance Day, Canada Day and obviously D-Day ceremonies. The gear goes from original 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion officer hat badge to rations and underwear to parachute and weapons. Weapons include grenades, STEN MkV (rebuilt), .303 Lee-Enfield No4 MkI* (Inglis 1942) and BREN MkII (Inglis 1943). Collection includes Airborne Sleeping Bag and Wireless Set No 38 Mk2*. However; I am always looking to expend the collection! When possible, I am trying to exchange reproductions for originals. So if you have stuff collecting dust and want to please the wife don’t hesitate to drop me an email!

While I am definitively interested by the material culture I am also interested by everything associated with WW2 British/Canadian Airborne Forces such as tactic, parachute training, airborne development, pathfinders, weaponry and personal history and…stories!

Forums like Military Surplus Collectors Forums are great place to share and enhance knowledge while exchanging with avid collectors who often know more than museums staff!

Hello, my name is Brian and I live in New Hampshire. My main interests are WWII history and American Musclecars. I have three boys in their teenage years who enjoy my interests also, it is a great way to spend time with them and to also share history.

My interests are; US martial Arms, antique restoration and vintage match/ Service Rifle cat.
Looking forward to learning from others and sharing useful knowledge of my own. Pleased to be a new member.

Just wanted to say hello to members here. I am a member of several other forums having to do with military gear and just found out about this site. I am always on the search for knowledge and learning about military weapons and gear.

Thanks for letting me in!

Hello all. I have lurked for a while and decided it was time to join the forum. I have enjoyed reading a lot of good post on here.
