Only 30 days to set-up. I have only 30 tables left but they are going fast. You can register at the ASMIC Website. asmic.org/asmic-convention There will very likely be no tables left by the 14th of July.   Thanks   Dennis

Catamount.  I need several of these for the catalog. I tried to copy from the screen but the images are too fuzzy. Can you send me pics of the following photographed at 300 DPI?   I need R2A, Z111A2, UA3 and the 6970th.   Thanks

You finally posted a revolver that I have!  The Smith & Wesson revolvers you have are very impressive, thanks for posting.

What do you think about this unusual 'Vietnam' Zippo?

. From my Shoebox Collection    I bought this tin of Sour Ball Candies in the 1990's and it shows a copyright date of 1940 on the sides of the tin, so it was about fifty years old when I bought it, sadly theta lid was already rusty when bought, but underneath the bottom is like new, the candy balls inside still shake about when shaken so thankfully it's not one massive glob inside the can.  Pity it wasn't stored upside down all those years . . . . . . . .  I have matt varnished the lids to hopefully help prevent further corrosion.          Norman D.

I picked this knife up years ago, and was just going through my drawers and pulled it out.  It is named to an: Authur Green 4508 So Hoover St Los Angeles Calif I went through the NARA records and found one Arthur Green from Los Angeles who enlisted in 1942.  I searched obits and didn't find anything.  The first name Aurthur is a variation of Arthur, and knowing how the Army works, writing the name as Arthur doesn't seem out of the question.  I looked up the address and found that it was a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment built in 1929.  Given time I may search the deed records, but that doesn't help shed any light on his possible military service. The 7-inch blade is reminiscent of the USMC Fighting Knife (aka Ka-bar) and the Mark 2, and I've read references that the Marbles knife was looked at when the USMC Fighting Knife was designed.  Not sure of the age, it has a screw pommel with a brass nut, the guard is brass, and the markings are MARBLE'S over GLADSTONE, MICH. USA., with a line over the ARB. The scabbard is home made, and while it has some letters and scrolls on it, nothing stands out except for a capital J on the back.  This one of two Marbles I own, the other is a 5-inch blade that resembles a USN Mark 1. I've always been curious as to why Marbles never seems had a contract during WW2 for a knife. Any comments are welcome.

I needed this image. Any idea of what unit it was?

I have not checked this in a while and did not get an alert. Thanks for the input.   Do you have a better pic of the 111th?
