. Peeps and Jeeps.   Over the lifetime of this thread I have posted about the use of Peeps and Jeeps several times,  I have tried to search for the posts I made,  but failed to do so.   One was for a wartime magazine and there was an article in the magazine stating that the word Peeps was used for what we now call Jeeps and Jeeps were half-ton Dodges.    Another post I added was a 1940 / 1941 period film about serving in the US Army and the film related to the initial training period and they had a studio mock-up of a  vehicle representing a ' Jeep ' but it was verbally called a Peep, again I can't find this post,  some of the searches need to be word specific otherwise it draws a blank.    So here's another use of the word ' Jeep ' as used by Minneapolis Moline for vehicles they built for the army, so it's still ambiguous where the term originated from to become synonymous with the Second World War Jeep as we call it today.        Norman D.

Halo and FOB are post war tea stained.  These were common fakes and sold during the 80s and latter.  

Very nice, thanks for sharing! Ken 

Beautiful carbine! Being late or post war, is it marked M1 (hopefully) or M2?

Here are some items from the Western Cartridge Company.  My wife's grandmother worked in that plant during WW II.  They made small arms ammunition (.45 ACP and shotgun amongst other calibers).  

Gotcha man thanks for the input!

The US made period M1944 nets always have stiff bands, I have 4 of them and 3 loose WWII neoprene bands, they are all stiff and hard to stretch. The post war M1944 style nets seem to always have very elastic bands, the nets themselves are usually much softer as well and usually a pea color green, while US M1944 nets are very dull almost grayish green.    Nice net!
