Very nice collection.   Does most of it come from people locally?

I sent you a pm. I'm interested in that pdf.

A 60s Theater Made USAF NAME Tape, that is as we see Chain Stitched, Chain Stitching is a common German thing so maybe German Made???   This was the only image I seen of this,  it's sewn to a Field Jacket, but whole image of jacket was not saved from this sold item, so really can't see where it was made, that is if this FJ had PPs that could give us clue, like say FJ did indeed have a U.S. Air Force Europe PP on it etc 

Would that key have been used in the mount itself instead of the fire control computer ???

Welcome, and I must say WOW!!   That is an impressive set of equipment you have posted.  I collect some Navy stuff also but I don’t have any submarine stuff.    Really nice !!   Chris

I have 3 of them. Try not to hate me…..All fully functional. Here in NZ we can own them (with the appropriate Police Licence) but……..not fire them. And they are cheap. Say $US 3500. Anyway, our soldiers during WW2 used Thompsons only. No Sten guns issued to NZ troops. Here are some pics as eye candy of mine grouped with appropriate items from the niches I specialise in.

Fantastic!

Never enough interesting small items to sexy up an otherwise dull locker.

IMO, if it’s repainted, you’re not going to hurt the value by using zip strip to remove some paint to find the year and maker….its an e tool..   you might get lucky and find a 43 dated AF&H
