Managed to snatch this one, may have overpaid a little. 1970s era McCord M1 helmet, named to a Major Carlton.    Enjoy!

Dear Folks  Just I wonder to know your thoughts with this M-1895 US ARMY OFFICER forage cap,is a period one including Army badge and could someone from you explain to me if those buttons from Minnesota NG to attatch chinstrap are correct instead the ones with Army shield on them and is this NG buttons under regulations???     Thank in advance    Fernando     

. WWII Shrapnel Damage London Tate Gallery Museum.   A London Jeeping friend provided me with these photographs he took last week while visiting the exhibition at the Tate Gallery. There are numerous buildings in London with remnants of the damage caused during the bombing in WWII, some damage is even known to be left from WWI Zeppelin bombing raids.        Norman D.

A shame. A deliberate attempt to deceive... (by the fabricator - not necessarily the seller!) If sold as a copy for re-enacting, then £40 isn't too bad!

. Buyers Beware   A UK Jeeping friend saw these 1943 Marine blankets for sale, the blankets look good until the label is more closely inspected.  An inexperienced beginner might be taken in by these labels . . . . . . . .         Norman D.

. Blue Skies Are Here Again   I took this photograph while driving into Carentan yesterday, who would think there was an International fuel crisis happening presently in the Gulf states.      Norman D. Landing, Forum Normandy Correspondent, 25 April  2O26.   ..

I took my site down last year. There were too many people taking away the true meaning of UNIS. I felt it was being mis interpreted. I keep it private to my circle of fellow collectors who have a passion for keeping the memory of these Marines alive. I am in total agreement with UNIS_AW97. Great seabag.  

Up next, some M3 blades that are in a sorry state.   

Thank you. Work in progress!

My feeling is IUW 11-3 is an early 70's to post war unit.
