Thanks for the response thorin6!  Appreciate it. 

thanks for your interest usmcdoc67

Unique m1911 mag pouch in my collection.   WWI type, made by Russell MFG. common enough, however this one is dated In January 1919. Also it at some point,likely during WWII was redyed Dark OD-7 green. Note the other mag pouch for reference.

That knife, guard marked (I assume, based on one picture), with an original M8 sheath, would be $250-300.  With the reproduction M6 sheath, no more that the knife, around $175-$200.  In my opinion.

That's really impressive, I can't wait to see what your new helmet looks like afterwards. There are many helmets that I have walked right by and not purchased even when offered for very cheap bc they were in this condition. Good luck and keep us updated! 

Thanks for the update.

I looked at the jacket a bit closer and I can clearly see, that there was a Special Forces SSI sewn on at some point prior to the on, that is on the jacket now...

That'll buff out.... Photos taken at the Camp Texas Vehicle Camp near Crassville, Normandy    

While the churchyard of Sainte Marie du Mont just off Utah Beach is always packed with vehicles and people during commemoration week, I still manged to take this photo of my Jeep in front of the church.... Photo was taken on Friday 5th June 2026 Second photo shows my 1942 Huffman US Army bicycle in the same location in June 2024 That photo was taken by Kenneth Nishiyori with a 1940s Speedgraphic camera    

Very nice! I think I paid about 3500 USD when I bought my TSMG back around 1999. Living in the US though, I get to shoot it (and my other Go-Fasters) when I want. Here's mine, with a few other Go-Fasters of mine. (Edited to add that an M16A2 is absent from the photo.)
