Nellis Posted February 9, 2008 Share #176 Posted February 9, 2008 Erwin: I was surprised when I won the auction!! Is your shirt a "Gas Flap"? The makings are printed on the inside of the collar. Craig: The gas flap is still present and can be seen in post #358 Thanks for the comments!! The shirt is MINT !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeper704 Posted February 9, 2008 Share #177 Posted February 9, 2008 My TD shirts are without the gas flap. It looks like a nice one you got there, Nate. Just missed out on a three piece TD collar disc ..... it went up to 91 USD!!! Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Baker Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share #198 Posted May 11, 2008 Then the surprise. The seller sent all this extra stuff free of charge. It's turned out to be a great little grouping, and in this case I think I'll send away for his files. He was a TD commander in Italy and prior to that an instructor at Camp Hood. Almost forgot, his wife was a Lieutenant Army surgical nurse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
