RobL Posted May 11, 2015 Share #2127 Posted May 11, 2015 The Signal Corps caption only indicates "2nd Armored". But not clear which regiment: either 66th or 67th Armored Regiment. RobL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeper704 Posted May 11, 2015 Share #2128 Posted May 11, 2015 66th Armored Regiment. Taken in Normandy probably around Operation Cobra. Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

63 RECON Posted August 11, 2015 Share #2130 Posted August 11, 2015 Hi all, The friend who bought the signed Brad Pitt Fury jacket has it up for sale, he was going to get it framed up with a 2nd Armored patch and some other bits but has to let it go for another purchase. so if you missed out last time grab a bargain. After going over it its definitely a screen worn jacket in some capacity as the original description says. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Brad-Pitts-Original-Signed-Tank-Jacket-From-The-Film-Fury-/331625899363?ssPageName=ADME:B:EF:AU:1123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willysmb44 Posted August 11, 2015 Share #2131 Posted August 11, 2015 Ask anyone into film props and they'll cry when they see that jacket. Signing a prop like that actually decreases its value, generally, among film prop/costume collectors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy.502 Posted August 11, 2015 Share #2132 Posted August 11, 2015 Have not commented on the movie yet so here goes, might annoy some of the U.S. movie lovers but I really didn't like the over the top Hollywood, with brad Pitt perfect slicked backed hair . The other thing was the final battle which was completely inaccurate, destroying Germany's elite SS. Overall the film was good though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheskett Posted August 11, 2015 Share #2133 Posted August 11, 2015 Eddy You may upset others but not me. The film didn't do for me. Can't pinpoint any one thing just did not like it much. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutiger83 Posted August 11, 2015 Share #2134 Posted August 11, 2015 I wasn't a big fan either. While I really liked the battle scenes, I did not like the story line between the soldiers. I saw it the one time and haven't bothered to see it again. ...Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strac Posted August 12, 2015 Share #2135 Posted August 12, 2015 I have not chimed in yet either, but I also did not care much for Fury. Although technically impressive, sadly this alone was not enough to make Fury a good movie. The characters were somehow not all that appealing (due to the script they were stuck with or sub par acting? I don't know which) or even all that interesting and the plot was quite predictable - with the exception of the nonsensically unbelievable final battle, which was the worst. Fury could have been so much more but instead, it is just another war movie among so many others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeper704 Posted August 12, 2015 Share #2136 Posted August 12, 2015 Ah right ... the 'almighty' SS (what a joke). To each his own, I guess .... The battle scenes were one of the hardest I ever saw and I really liked the part where the Sherman platoon encounters that Tiger. In fact that part of the movie I have seen about 7 or 8 times already. Admitted the last part where the lone Sherman defended the crossroads was seriously over the top. But so many movies are over the top in some scenes. Besides, it is a war MOVIE, NOT a war DOCUMENTARY (there is a difference). As for the interaction between the characters, well new guys got treated this way. They had to prove themselves to be worthy (if they didn't die in the first battle). This was true in the armor, infantry, airborne and any other branch. Seeing too many men die, the survivors didn't want to take the time to get to know the "new guy" (emotional self protection?). And in every group of people you have different characters (arrogant ones, friendly ones, real bastards, etc.). I personally disliked the loader in that crew a lot. Maybe too much was crammed together in this movie, but a lot of those things happened during the war. Whether you like it or not. Afterall, I rather have a movie like "FURY" than a movie like the old "Battle of the Bulge" (other examples exist). Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutiger83 Posted August 12, 2015 Share #2137 Posted August 12, 2015 Definitely to each his own. Based on your avatar, you love tanks. Therefore, you would obviously love this movie. Someone who loves planes would love movies such as 12 O’clock High. Some people prefer to watch a movie with many battle scenes. Some people prefer to watch a movie with a great story line. This is why so many different kinds of movies are made. Personally, I have watched the old Battle of the Bulge many times. I watched this once and was done. To each his own. ...Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garandomatic Posted December 20, 2015 Share #2147 Posted December 20, 2015 Gotta admit, the work on this piece is cool, but it sure gives you an odd feeling! Very interesting. I intended to display this piece, but I think I might need to devise a better storage for it somehow to keep the grime and blood on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandomatic Posted December 20, 2015 Share #2148 Posted December 20, 2015 I may post some others tomorrow. I sure wish I could have gotten more, but my meager haul was bought with borderline irresponsibility, so I had to restrain myself. I kicked around the idea of maybe selling one uniform set from the lots that I got to minimize the expense, but seeing it all in hand, I have a pair of pants from the double for "Binkowski," some other heavily grimed uniforms, and I really find that nothing is redundant in my haul. I like it all, and find the aging to really make it pop, no two pieces are the same. Rather than move a set, I think I'll be on the lookout for a couple of more pieces on the secondary market and add to the mix. I'd sure like a tanker jacket from the movie, kinda regret not getting one! I liked the movie when it first came out a great deal, and it keeps growing on me even more. I have to credit the folks behind this film. Every time I see it, I remember something from "Death Traps", or see a little detail that I spotted in one of Zaloga's books. I'm afraid I'm going to have to get a blu-ray player soon. Gots to get those deleted scenes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandomatic Posted December 20, 2015 Share #2149 Posted December 20, 2015 Check yer pockets, fellas, way down deep! I'd assume these pants were worn in the scene where the gentlemen let off steam once the town has been taken! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted December 20, 2015 Share #2150 Posted December 20, 2015 Who made the M41 jackets? I got a few and I'm thinking they're ATF judging the only thing left on them ID wise is the size tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
