Thank you so much!

Union made magazines with just a U but they also produced them for most if not all of the major manufacturers. QU for instance for Quality Hardware. 

Good info Tonomachi. I had seen that wing too. Didn't know what to make of it. Currently, there is a second one like that for sale on eBay, but it is finished extremely roughly. https://www.ebay.com/itm/176505135680?itmmeta=01KV9S3F3HAK5CAF0ZQZMFEWFF&hash=item291886a240  

Thank you sir! Always a pleasure 

Found this bag at a thrift store I'm almost 100% positive this is a theater/Afghanistan made sling bag. Made from some type of dcu camo ripstop material. Its got 3 pockets on the front with embroidery and one small pouch on the shoulder strap. Its got quite a bit of room on the inside, unfortunately one of the buckles are broken. But that would be fairly easy to fix. When I looked inside the middle compartment on the front. I actually found a receipt from Walmart dating January 18th 2001. The Walmart still stands today in Boise Idaho and the phone number is still active. Looks like they bought cracker jacks for 0.88 cents and a twin sword for $14.82, don't know what a twin sword would be.

I beleive we called them film loops.  if that doesn't turn up a projector or viewer, see who held those patents.

It depends. That's one possible answer.

Another great looking build, Lars.  Your weathering and color technique really set these apart from many in the detail and realism that your models portray.  Thanks once again for sharing another great build to us who so admire you and others talents on this forum.

I knew this the father, but never knew his unit.
