Here is a rare "Reznick Radio Shop" guitar, a re-branded Gibson model KG-11 made for the Resnick Music Shop of Winston-Salem, NC, by Gibson in 1937. Norman Byerly of the 1st Armored Division, carved into the back the towns he passed through as he traveled through the Eastern Theater during the war. The stories this guitar could tell! The current owner will be taking it down to offer it for loan to the WWII Museum in New Orleans soon.

I came across this on a guitar forum.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Hope they put it in a two sided viewing case.

The fact that it even survived & considering the provenance I would be very surprised and disappointed if they do not offer to display it.
I hope they have some detailed information on Norman Byerly to display along with it. Personal items like this truly bring the human element of history
alive.

I travel many of the cited towns and cities during my daily work in Europe. Made me think.......
