Thank you  

It's even a little more coincidental than that Kurt. The couple that acquired it lived in Eugene for many years before retiring back east.

Thank you

Wow!  So weird, I've never seen anything like that.  Amazing!!!

That's another possibility.  It's definitely a beautiful wing for sure.

Certainly a possibility Kurt regarding the uniform.  It could be a factor but I really don't think we'll know unless further evidence shakes out of the tree at some point.

I thought that was pretty dang funny myself.  You come across some of the craziest things every once and awhile when doing research.  He was so fortunate his wife decided to leave and he was able to get a divorce.  Dodged that bullet I'd say.

The four line Camillus mark is considered to be WW2 but they may have continued post war for a short time.  With that said, there was little reason to continue production of the TL-29 after the war ended as there was more materials on hand than were needed at that point.  Bottom line is that the four line mark is considered WW2.   Lance

I agree wholeheartedly, it's very curious.  We may never know.
