[painter777]

Stumbled across this reel of film being auctioned.
No telling whats on it.
ETO? PTO? Marine with a Fraulein ?
Garand, carbine, M1A1, etc ?
I'd bite if I had a projector.

Half tempted to bid just to see what is on it. If anyone from this forum gets it let us know what you find...... I saw nothing in his description that indicated where he got the "Marine Fighting Film" description but maybe I missed it.

Hello Wojo,
Nice to hear from you.
I read thru 23 pages of items in this sellers Ebay store.
All the descriptions were very limited.

The film is probably too fragile to put through a projector, but with today's technology you can easily digitize it as 'stills'. Who knows, it might run okay, and if you have a film-editing set-up you could quickly fix any breaks.

I think Hollinger had the same hair style as the natives on Halfway island a few years back.
