Culpepper posted a photo on the U.S. Militaria Forum Facebook page about a week ago that included two U.S. Army early warning leather garrison belts. I made bhim a price and he has since disappeared. If anyone knows him please let him know I would like to contact him. He removed his I for from the Facebook page. Thanks for any help.

Wow, great score!   Ski

I just got the internal arts for my demilled bolt. The firing pin hole on it has been welded closed. Hopefully I’ll just need to drill it out so I can put this all together. It looks simple. What could possibly go wrong?  mikie

Oh man! Puppy Paradise! Hi doggies!  That would be something taking all of them out walkies all together. 😁 Just taking these two exhausts all three of us.  mikie  

Oh that’s right! Belated Happy Birthday to William from half way around the world!  mikie

Greeting!! I love messages out of the blue. Yes. Eureka, big green building. Loved that place! I think I still got those but have been through a move and know they are buried. Will check my notes to see when I was there. Will also give you a very fair price if/when I find them. Hit me back on my email; ben.stormsfam@gmail.com. We moved from the Redding area (Cottonwood) last summer back home to Eastern Washington. Loved that junky antique store in old town Eureka too. Good digging!  Ben

Exactly.

39th RECONDO pocket patch Confusion about the 39th RECONDO pocket patch has many of us puzzled. It is clear that the 39th Infantry Rgt. was/is part of the 9th Inf. Div. The 39th Infantry Brigade has no connection to the 5th Infantry Div. So why the diamond in the design of the RECONDO Patch. Here I offer a possible solution. Examining the SSI of the 39th Inf. Brigade there is a clear diamond in the design. Any thoughts on this? Thanks

I have seen airsoft helmets that’re essentially 1:1 scale PASGT helmets made of much lighter material.   There was a gentleman selling one at my local flea market a couple weeks ago for <$10    

Fantastic grouping!
