Waiting for my granddaughter to come over to take some pics for me. Forgot to mention the blade is magnetic.

Yup

I know you cried a little , I would have. Very happy for you

Forum members, I've had a US Training Tellermine 43 for over twenty years now and am curious about the white stenciling....The paint color on the metal looks correct but the stenciling reads (with the handle at noon and looking straight at it, starting @ 11:00 43/T. - M1 - C42.13 -1....Starting @ 6:00 it reads as follow T - M1. - T11z.....They instead are supposed to read 43/T - Mi - Z42.13 - A.....T - Mi - Pilz.....I've theorized that somebody used whatever stenciling letters were available or perhaps were hard of hearing and possibly just stenciled it in the manner he thought he was supposed to....The piece is clean with most wear and age to the handle....There is no 'DUMMY' stenciled on the bottom or indication of the threaded fuse port on the bottom ever having had tape across it....Has anybody experienced with these ever seen such an anomaly?....Bodes

My father in law gave this to me recently.    It was passed down to him, together with a Springfield trapdoor .45-70 rifle, not sure what year. The rifle was sold many years ago but he still had this packed away.    Interested in learning about it (age, collectibility, etc.) if anyone has knowledge to share.    I see 7th Cav stamped on the top flap and some other markings I can’t make out. Were these government issued?   He said the ammo has been in there for decades but I don’t think it is nearly as old as the pouch. The lead bullets are very oxidized, feel like a different metal now.    Thanks!

Thank you sir 

Being a part of the Old Guard is a real honor, you have every right to be proud. Thank you for sharing.   Scott
