Unusual oxygen mask for sale w/ helmet
Vark_07 replied to BlueBookGuy's topic in FLYING HELMETS AND ACCESSORIES
I don't think it's a custom fit, but more likely one of the the very early MBU-5/P hardshells. The plastic was shiny, with a different shade of green, the molded MFG. markings were located on both sides (not on the microphone bulge), and there was a vertical mold line clearly visible. See picture montage attached, but I think this is the case on the example you've shown 😉. -
I'm glad if this was helpful. I'm also a little curious about the missing WESTERN stamping on the opposite side of the blade. You usually found both before the patent expired in the early 50's.

Winchester Model ‘97 riot gun, U.S. and ordnance bomb marked 1918 manufactured

My old 97 was a trench version, and I think your are correct about the trench guns being solid frame, with the riot version being a takedown frame...it may be change that happened at a certain year..... - Today

I don't know about the riot guns, but the trench guns were all solid frames. The markings look off to me. -
Yup, decided to let it go as I have another interest to fund for.

Found today in a massive estate sale were three full sized movie theatre posters. All are 27×41 in size and are The Big Red One, The Final Countdown, and lastly The Green Berets! Super happy to add these.

Yes, 438fs 35fg 3aaf. I have one on wool and another on muslin. Haven't posted them yet.

Unless it's a trick of the photo that appears to be made of rip-stop cotton, not the 50/50 cotton/nylon of the original BDU so it's definitely not a first pattern BDU it's some variation of a HWBDU (Hot weather BDU.) It also doesn't have the Elvis Collar of the early BDU. No waist tabs means it's not an early HWBDU either. I think that's an early 90's HWBDU. Not really sure what you're seeing WRT the camo pattern, it looks like the BDU pattern to me. I think the variation is just how the material happened to be cut for that one.

So whats the deal on this one? Did it make its way on ebay to France? Liner is not shown either.

Question: Wouldn't a M97 Riot from that era sn# range have a solid frame rather than a take-down..? I owned E704xxx a while back and it was a solid frame...... -

I knew where it was at. A collector of antique reloading tools had it. It didn't fit his collection so I made an offer and he accepted.
-
It is supposed to be made for covert operations by the St Louis Ordnance Plant in 1953. I believe lots 1-4 were produced. Some people associate it with the Bay of Pigs but I believe it could have been used for any operation of that time frame.

Great find, by accident or just somebody you have been tracking to sell. Years ago a colleague of my found almost a complete device at a flea market/gun show at Ft Leavenworth and purchased it for practically nothing.

I believe you will have to write to the museum and for a fee they will let you know where it was sent, probably not much info in the file. -
It’s been a while since this post has been updated so I thought I would add a modified M2/M1917 launcher to M1903 with over stamped M1917. This one was made by KM and not unmarked like the OP. Has anyone found more info on the unmarked M1917 launcher regarding MLS manufacture?

Here is a jacket with the same patch from the D-Day experience museum in Carentan. Saw the jacket in this post, then the jacket in the museum later. Here is the placard that goes with the jacket for more info.
