Wow! So great to read about him and see an actual picture of him in uniform. Thanks so much for posting. I will save these documents to his file. Best Regards Laurence

. Carentan wartime vehicle parade Sunday 07 June 2026   About a hundred vehicles gathered to take part in a vehicle parade around the streets of Carentan and park in the central square to allow people to see the vehicles close up. I transported three ladies that did the knitting and covering of the full size wooden Jeep we made for the Longest Yarn exhibition.  The lady in the front who did most of the knitting had never actually ridden in a Jeep before.    Once again I failed to get photos of all the people crowding the streets and the main square, I was busy towing a stalled Jeep into the main square and trying to change the condenser and points for the owner.            Norman D.

Complete 1.1" rounds are uncommon. Unfortunately your projectile is missing the driving band. What is it worth? Depends if you can find a WW2 ordnance collector wanting a low grade one to fill a hole in his collection. I have seen the brass casing go for about $35-50. If complete with projectile in good condition $125-150? Just an educated guess.    

Hello What are your thoughts on this patch? It looks good  No glow under UV I know it's a rare patch Lucky find at a flea market   Thank you Tony  

Much appreciated for the names.  I was thinking about heading up there for the show anyway since I’m only about 75 minutes away from there.  Now I have more of an incentive to do so!

I agree with what others posted. This one looks good to me. I would get it looked at by one of the experts like Brendan Synnamon of the Union Drummer Boy shop in Gettysburg or the guys at the Horse Soldier or even William Leigh. I don’t know where you’re located, but there will be a Civil War show in Gettysburg at the end of the month with lots of knowledgeable people there. Paul

. hi earlymb,   We didn't discuss that it was more about the expectation of the container arrival, he knows the GPW is all matching numbers, and he seems convinced that the Slat is untouched so I WILL BE very interested in seeing it as I once owned a slat and want to see how mine stacked up against an untouched one..   During D-Day week there were several very rare Jeep models drifting around Normandy, BUT while all looked factory condition all had been totally rebuilt to the nth degree so total originality was no longer there.   Something I really want to see is any original felt around the radiators, sadly some of the recently restored Jeeps I see use material that wouldn't look out of place on the back of a South American Sloth animal.    Norman D.

It is; seems like a solid base for a restoration though. Any more photos? 😊    

Awesome! Congrats!
