    One area I have never got into, viewing it sort as a "bubba" of shell casings. Not saying I don't appreciate it, just prefer the unaltered ones. I've gone so far as dismantling several lights to...

    I buy a LOT of books. I am fortunate or cursed depending on how you look at it to have access to numerous used books. A lot of them are ex-library. It's hard for me to come up with an average but...

    I ran into that one time with an airplane model.

    In any case, the restriction appears to have been lifted as there are currently two of them listed on eBay. Both from the UK.

    How do you ship a saddle. I have the answer. When I first saw this box I was like WOW, what a mess. But I was wrong. He had the saddle and stirrups packed extremely well and secure. I should...

    Rainy looking morning that remained dry. A few were outside this morning, and I found a fellow with some WWI tunics. I thought this one to be the most interesting as it had its collar disks and an...

    It is indeed a M1917. I read the sign beside it and still called it a Renault. Which it is copied after but is actually US made.

    PA State Military Museum

    Went here last week. Took me a bit of time to organize photos. Not a lot there but some things really interested me. They have the only two surviving barrels from the USS Pennsylvania Battleship...

    Yard Sale season officially started today but it was a complete bust. Only thing we brought home was a stuffed Pillsbury Dough Boy (definitely not the WWI type). The trouble with these early sales...

    No, in all the years I've been collecting, I've never found one with a badge (painted symbol) on it. So the majority were just painted white. They are also pretty common. I see several at yard...

    The US Civil Defense helmets are made of steel. Not sure what kind but they are steel. I would say they are better made than the Zuckerman's, the liner is more permanent. They are not combat...

    I did a little research and the long coiled strap attached to the right safe might be the cinch strap. Only images I’ve found show this attached to the safe with a leather thong though holes. The...

    Probably not really all that precarious. Easy on, easy off the back side.

    Nice photo. I would have guessed somewhere in North Africa but that is well before these entered service.

    It's no secret I can't remember their birth years. I remember all their birthdays, that's what's important. I can figure them out through a process of elimination. My oldest was born two weeks...

    I need 1963 and 1985, then I would be good. 1966 is actually my wife's birth year so that's one. Could get the girls birth years but I don't remember what they are. Have to ask mom.

    I thought of that briefly but quickly dropped it. Birth year maybe, year entered the service maybe. Only thing I'm collecting year and manufacture variations of are canteens and mess kits.
