@Jsand  -- easterneagle87 gave good advice on selling the six buckles on the right.  I don't collect these types of buckles and when I acquire them I tend to flip them for $20 +/- $5 per buckle.  An idea is to start with $40/buckle with a make an offer option and then lower the price if they don't sell fast enough for you.  Great score BTW!  I missed that auction so it wasn't me bidding against you.   Here are two Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron (VMGR) buckles... The 1981 buckle on the right sold on ebay in April.  I saw it the other day while searching completed auctions....

I'm still looking for one of these.  Someone must have one that's "excess to needs." If that someone is you, please contact me so that I can help you turn that situation around by helping you to finance a new acquisition to better fit your collection (and filling a hole in mine!). Happy collecting!

. Hi Graham.   Thanks,   the reason I asked was I have some original rear lamps for the earliest M3 ( Stuart ) light tanks of WWII and they are in orange cartons and then over wrapped with a cosmoline wrap., I don't have then to hand today to photograph and post.  Best wishes for the eventual rebuild.       Norman D.

Many folks in Hollywood were veterans and the DOD worked closely with Hollywood for accuracy.

Hi Ken The mirror heads are unfortunately copies. However they are a very good copy, and have the 'dull' reflection like the originals. I took the 3 he had! There are also some copy body work panels, screen frame and top hat sections. I grabbed what he had, as my project is a bit of an unknown. The body needs a lot of work! There are, however a lot of lovely take off items there. I did spot a few 'F' stamps too! Cheers! Graham
