Got the second hand sorted out. Plus got the correct Hamilton movement dust cover.

See how the crown cover and chain look like a cap and chain on a military canteen you drink water from just a nick name collectors call them.

Did Hollywood make any good banana war films.

Lawrence of Arabia.  1962   Any war film by Samuel Fuller. ... including these. The Big Red One.... 1980 The Steel Helmet (1951): Often cited as the first film about the Korean War. Fixed Bayonets! (1951): Focuses on a group of soldiers holding a mountain pass in Korea. Hell and High Water (1954): A Cold War submarine film. China Gate (1957): Set during the French war in Indochina. Verboten! (1959): Drama set in post-WWII Germany. Merrill's Marauders (1962): Depicts the U.S. Army's long-range penetration jungle warfare unit in Burma.     Film about Ernie Pyle... WW2 Reporter The Story of G.I. Joe 1945    The Red Badge of Courage 1951   To Hell and Back 1955   Das Boot 1981   The tanks are coming  1951        

This might already be common knowledge, but has anyone else ever noticed the use of a “WT” M1 Bayonet in Band of Brothers Episode 5?   See screen shots below from right around the 38:37 mark of the ‘Crossroads’ episode.     Also shows Greek numbering on guard so I guess you can add that to the list of ‘inaccuracies’…

Thats pretty cool Ronnie. Hard to find too as no one wanted anyone to know they were wearing one. I have one.. Yours is in better shape than mine.. Nice !!!

The USNS Kula Gulf T-AKV-8 originally the WW2 escort carrier CVE-108. This ship was transferred to the Military Sealift Transport Service in 1965 and used to ferry aircraft to Vietnam. The Kula Gulf ferried aircraft to and from Vietnam until 1969, it was then stricken from the Navy in 1970. Scrapped in 1971.
