Your "stainless" marked blade is a gorgeous example of the black, plastic-handled M-2. I have never seen one marked stainless until seeing the images of your example. I wonder if it might have been marked for export or possibly commercial sales?   Allan

Cheers Marty!   $174 though. I'll get caned with Customs charges too.

Hello Allan,   I have an M2 like the #5 that you describe about. The only difference it's marked on the reverse with "stainless" on the ricasso. Would this be a different version altogether? Here are some photos. Thanks in advance.

Displayed are two knitting books from the Great War era.  Offered within both - the would-be-knitter could access patterns and instructions.  As typical for the era, the instructions assume that the knitter has a knowledge of knitting, techniques and patterns.  In a fast forward to current knitting, the intermediate or avid knitter of 2025 has many publications to choose from, with instructions on yarn selection, needles, findings and much more.

. Hi Johan,   I sold my collection of V-Discs before I moved over here, too worrying trying to ship that many ' Breakable ' discs.   Here's one of my favourite Glenn Miller tunes,  ' It must be Jelly ( cause jam don't shake like that ) '   Did ever hear the Glenn Miller tribute band, they played ' Pardon me boy, is that the cat who chewed your new shoes ' 🤣 🤣       Norman D.

That’s a WWII general mechanics vehicle tool box. Used with Jeeps to tanks, nice find!  

Here you go.  It looks like he bought this one on ebay last month for about $60.   https://www.ebay.com/itm/256905810612?_skw=aerial+gunner+wings&itmmeta=01JTR4D14AJ1MZYVV8K0CZFG4V&hash=item3bd0c792b4:g:7REAAeSw9RtoCu0P&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA0FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1faUeZKdaZ%2FzcHYlmoeObTbkf2z0z8nfZQI3SI2OF1gRm8vwZYocBp1REVZ%2FpPQ0U02kgphKTooPFQpOT1ccQ3LSesoSkY3tGedJddl3LfspfhRpZI0PAomST%2BxNXePyfIeOC7s4dyDGE5D7GeJPwcS2ejLWkWUOSFmxIavbOJCrJiopdbtbBg1iTJKs7sqlJpqdopznRXfQF6fmk45eE2sPyzMmwc%2BhEN9IVBx%2BMIK7M6Qq74Sd5%2BADDipakaAqtg%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6qStITWZQ
