rayg Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Again wonderful collection. How about some shots of the far side of the room in the first photo including the Brit airborne guy in the corner. Are your airborne gloves original? The pair I just got, if you checked out my thread (my manikins) pg 3, turned out not to be original. Ray Link to post Share on other sites
