A friend is slowly cleaning out his garage and two storage lockers of "stuff" he's collected over time. He's been bringing in a little here and there...today was a box with miscellaneous stuff, including this Army Aviation Cadet Sergeant's chevron (a lonely single for now)....   Mark sends

I found this video Ken and Johan on their typical commute to and from the grocery store.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1039303164905401/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v   i hope the link works! mikie  

Craig is on vacation this week, so he might be away from his computer.  PM me for his number,  (But our shop is better! 😉)

The safety ring/clip items from your first photo are from the M600/M601 fuze used with the early T7 light anti-tank mine.  Later fuzes used with the M7 series mines had a different safety clip.

The one German is missing his face, head shot. both appear to be looted. A coworker and friend who has passed many years ago, was Wounded at Casino he had two Luger's a P38 some Italian pistols, and an Illinois Railroad pocket watch he took off a German who no doubt took it off a G.I.  in his duffle bag, he was shipped home due to the severity of his wounds. later a box arrived with the pocket watch. Thinking it was probably his dad's watch. True story.  Pictures tell a thousand stories. 

My guess is the Germans were moving out or retreating so fast, that they were taking as much equipment along with them that they could carry....I like the remote-controlled anti-tank gadget (Goliath) with the tracks seen in the first set of photos....Bodes

This is one fantastic grouping. I am amazed at it. A really stunning tribute to Carl's Service. K-9's were heroes of the war also. Thanks ever so much for posting. I had to go back and look at it a second time. Everyone should take time to look at it. Dave

Here's a cool 1950's era squadron buckle that went for a very fair price on the Liveauctioneers site a couple of days ago.
