As a pilot, definitely the B-25 is the loudest to be inside in flight. As a spectator, the T-37 at idle on the ground, has the most annoying, high pitched, loud squealing sound if ever heard. I’ve heard it was known as the “dog whistle” and the “converter”, because it converts fuel to noise. John -

Here my conversion 50-70 Sharps. Did researches at my best and, accordingly this gun is just very short of the very last Model 1859 being made, before serial numbers switched to the Model 1863. Three-grove rifling, stock replaced who knows when, generic condition still good. Extraction system does work flawlessly. -

Thanks for the reply! I have seen vintage pictures of troops that have been on a campaign for months, and the troops look quite rough. No bath, no clean clothes (they would often sleep in their clothes), and they slept on the ground, using their saddle as a pillow. They would also sleep with the horse's halter line wrapped around their hand, using the horse as a natural alarm if they were in dangerous territory. Not an easy life! Robert -

I won myself an 82nd division uniform at auction, and it also has one of the machine gun patches. Though what seems to be the more common smaller type. I proceed to go on a photo hunting binge, and I found a good few. I will now post them here for people's futute reference.
