Nice rifles, beautiful condition Keith

I do like that 3rd armoured ike, some nice finds. 

Thank you Brother. I certainly did risk my bacon. Training was downright dangerous at times. I was ready to go for a long time.. We never got the call. Sometimes felt like a third stringer who practices and practices and never gets in a game, but ... realistically Rekon I was fortunate to be spared from it..

Thank you all for the positive comments. Usually I find these with cracks etc.. This one seems in great shape. Was about half the price you would expect it to go for.. Only one other bidder. Zach! Great to hear from ya friend. I hope all goes good! Dave

Nice score!! I never knew what the center image was depicting.....now I know.

It is good.

Having a (the) Military Collectibles Shop, we buy a lot directly from both veterans and families of veterans. There have been both highs and lows in dealing with families. But a resounding theme from people selling is "I want this to be somewhere where it will be appreciated".  Sometimes that may be with the family, but sometimes the "family" that was so sentimental a week ago about it, comes back in to sell it themselves.  Collectors, actually take the time to research, preserve and display and cherish pieces like this.  And I think it is more because of collectors and the effort they put into telling the "story behind the items", that the memory and deeds of these brave men will live on well past all of us.

This is the one with the post Vietnam War insignia. I can’t remember the date of the cover but I believe it was late 60’s

Basically I bought around 1,600 WWII-era maps (German, Japanese, and American mostly), and I really have no idea what the true value is. I've sold a couple on eBay for anywhere from $50-$300, but I only moved like ~20 out of 1,600. I'd really appreciate anyone's input on how much these might be worth. Thanks!

I'm new here and I hope to learn a lot from you all.
