I suppose I'm giving a bit of a clue by posting in this forum but here's just a bit of forum fun for us. Items should be in next week sometime.
Can anyone see what I think I found here? :thup:

I think I see at least part of a M1899 carbine hand guard.
Bingo!Quote:

We'll known once it gets here!

I've attached some pictures of some other neat goodies from the same auction. I think the piston nut is really cool! Anyone ever seen one packaged like this? It was hard to get a clear picture of but it's a Quality Hardware.

I should end up doing pretty well on everything. I got a lot of scope mounts and sights and a few other military things. A good auction, for sure!
Too bad about the handguard though, someone will still take it and glue it or microbed or some such... Yes, neat piston nut. A few other military things?
Happy to share! This isn't all from the same auction but I've picked this stuff up here and there over the last week or so.Quote:

Some nice stuff, some needs a bit of help. I know that's all part of it. I have one of those Mk2s with a fiber scabbard too...
I was intrigued by the VP marking. Do you happen to know what that means in this context?
In the St. Louis area, VP means "Veiled Prophet." I see lots of souvenir stuff from that..which I suppose is why it jumped out at me.
Veiled Prophet Ball - Wikipedia
Victory Plastics...they made lots of this sort of thing. Bayonet scabbards and K-Bar scabbards.
Got it. Thanks!Quote:
