Phenomenal I can’t find more words. 

This thing is huge as the board it it mou ted on is a 4'x8' plywood sheet. It also states that it was from Camp McCoy. The model is all wood and it painted to match the key to the right side. It is functional as you can pull the slide to work the action. I think its very cool but huge. IMA had a similar one but it sold.   Any thoughts?   Thanks, Kevin

I purchased a number of Vietnam War US Army training aid boards. This one is for the M79 40mm Grenade launcher. I have not been able to find another one. Everything works except the trigger has broken off. It can still be operated normally though. The box is oversized and is about 5' tall and 2' wide.   Any thoughts?   Thanks, Kevin

My father was awarded a Certificate of Merit "for distinctive service in connection with operations against the enemy from 13 July 44 to 20 Oct 44 in France".  I have heard that it was possible to have the certificate upgraded to a medal.  If so how, or is it too late.  And what medal would it be.   Ken Pillion  

I went to the monthly flea market today to look at those pencil thingees I saw last month. The dealer was back but the pencil thingees were gone. But then I saw this little jeep! How could I NOT take it home. It’s similar but just a little different from the others you have posted. Unfortunately there are no markings at all.  As long as I was bending my “no new stuff “ pledge, figured I’d bust it completely and picked  up this 1943 aircraft recognition manual, and a neat little 1942 guide to the old Richmond, California shipyard. If interested, I can expound about them later.  Enough for now. I’ve got a jeep to play with… vroooom vroooom!  mikie

Old thread, but I recently found these:   Chips' SS Award Orders:   Chips' SS Revocation Orders:   Silver Star or not, he was still a good boy. Dan    

The 1/16 RC M24 and Panther for comparison and a photo of my Father with the Tongde M24.

A few of my Fathers original WWII photos. Some are of my Fathers M24 but he’s not in any of these pics. Lots of stowage! I didn’t do the sand bags on the model. They weren’t used for very long.     

Great find!   Can we get a front/back closeup of the Ranger tab? It is military.     All I have ever seen were standard US-made embroidered.   Your’s looks “different “.
