Travelling in style, looks amazing. And good job preserving one of these, can't be many left now. AG

Just a follow up reference the fake SIGMA USAFRescue posted on May 11th.  There was only one possible glimmer of hope that the blade might have been an original.  Removed from the original handle, the serial numbers ground off, repolished and put in a Gray Armorhide handle.  I just needed to compare the etched font on the suspect blade.  I have concluded that this knife is a 100% fake SIGMA MKII.  The font is close to the originals, but there are several differences from the originals.  The quotation marks on both sides of the word SIGMA, are too high in proportion to the lettering.  The numbers 6 & 9 are inline with the rest of the numbers on the fake, where the originals had the top of the number 6 rising slightly above the other numbers and the bottom of the 9 dropping below the rest of the numbers.  Several of the letters are wider on the originals also.  I have reached out to the auction company that has this knife to let them know.  USAFRescue, thank you for bringing this to all our attention.      

We did train. Any day the Commies we’re gonna launch the big one.

Don’t need it. I have a retirement certificate and a monthly check. That’s plenty. 

Nice piece. I like the detail.

Thank you for answering.   The exit hole is about 15mm in diameter.     

. Hi AG,   Well thankfully it didn't work out like the image you added of Laurel & Hardy, Emmanuel sent me images of the DUKW sailing down the river in the beautiful city of Dinan near St Malo.          Norman D. Landing, Forum Normandy Correspondent, May 18  2O25.    ….

Thanks 1901, I appreciate the help. I thought it felt national guardish. I really like the detail that went into these pieces. Always appreciate the help the forum provides. Enjoy your Sunday, Gary

Here's one for sale on FB Mkt out of Frenso, CA. Messaged him and told of interest. Asked IF.. they ship and take Paypal. The reply was , yes. Made an offer and then they , said cash only. Told them no cash from me. They said, "bye", then blocked me, and state it was no longer for sale. Being curious, I used a co-workers FB account to see if it was still listed. Yep! This guy is probably a scammer. Good set of buckles. Aviation Boatswain Mate , US NAVY , 1958-1962 , JACK HORNER
