Seen today in Rosmalen, a village just outside of ‘s Hertogenbosch in The Netherlands… Marston matting (PSP plates) used as gerden fence… Not that common a sight there…

I ordered a set of demilled receiver sections that arrived yesterday. I am very happy with it and it solves a big difficulty with the build. I had asked Larry for a Springfield receiver with as low a serial number he had. He sent me this one. Serial number dates it to October 1943.  This project is coming together much faster than I expected.  mikie

Simply outstanding find, Ben.  Wonder how many Nisei troops were AB certified DURING the war? Very cool items with great history and love the picture to put a face with these great items!

I'm sure a cheap option is available but I use a model railway track cleaning rubber for gently working rust off metal fittings on uniforms along with some Tamiya modelers masking tape to protect any areas in case I slip up placed around the area I am working on. 

Here's images of three of my latest leather patch works, 11th Combat Cargo Squadron (Elephant) , 435th Fighter Squadron (Bugs Bunny) and an 832nd Bombardment Squadron , enjoy :)
