I decided to list it on Ebay and sold it for $270. I'm happy as I only paid $27.50 for it. I listed it and sold it within a week.

On the inside flaps is a another cartridge logo with Mills in the middle. There is a number above, looks like 007. Date below the cartridge logo is 1916, It's all very faint, could be 1910.

Yes, the Efteling in Kaatsheuvel the bin said: Papier Hier wich translates in Paper? Here!

Hi Ken, You brought up a long forgotten memory with your report on the flower parade. When my dad was based out in Germany in the early 60's we went to one of those parades, had completely forgotten about it. We also used to go to a theme park where there was a witches house and if you went near the gate the witch would appear at her door. There was also a couple of towers with a magic carpet that ran between the two if I recall correctly. The thing that really stuck in my memory were the rubbish bins, if you put something in them the bin talked to you, no idea what it said though. Park was in Netherlands and called Efteling at least that's where I think it was. I would only have been 6 or 7 back then. Kevin

Yep, good forum. Looks like you did get a relevant response. In this day and age, comments on such a word game just couldn't be avoided.😅 Dave

Well still…….like Steve said, just an extremely nice grouping and so hard to find anymore, especially out of the woodwork. Keep us posted on further research.

Hey everyone. Posted this on the Facebook group but thought I'd drop it here aswell. First DCU in my collection and I believe I've identified it to a special forces veteran whom had experience instructing both stateside and overseas. I'm still trying to learn more about the exact nature of when translated nametapes were worn during OIF and OEF or other middle-eastern deployments. I'm told this would have probably belonged to an 'advisor'.   Although what exactly does that imply? Would it simply mean someone whom was embedded with local forces or was he on some sort of instructing team training local forces? I've also seen numerous 'styles' of Arabic tapes. Some smaller ones that were worn on the pocketflap and larger ones worn above the nametape, etc. Is there a way to date these various styles?   I hope someone can provide some clarity. Enjoy the pictures! I have a pair of pants that came with the set aswell but didn't appear to be modified in any way so I didn't take pictures.
