One more week!

Well, this is my first post and I'd like to say thank you for the add. I've gained a lot of good info in the past from this site... I just got a couple more cut down DG's in from an order on Northridge after contacting them about these. I'm in no way affiliated with them, but they did go out of their way to help me when I  inquired about them.    I had already ordered 12 rough 3 packs of m7 or cut down m3 scabbards from their website (I've collected 60+ of the bayonets through the years, many E-US or unmarked W German among the US ones), and discovered their ebay page where I saw a damaged DG in the last picture and contacted them about buying any maroon scabbards. They still had that rough one, but at the time it was the only one they found & I got it free since it was so rough, even after ordering another three and offering to pay. They must've found another before shipping and included it. Very good service... I've picked up a couple others by closely looking at ebay pictures from a guy that sold lots of these cheap when the Greek returns were coming in.    Thought some collectors might find these interesting.    The top is a new to me DG scabbard & throat, 1906 SA cut down with the rough scabbard that needs repair (crimped), 2nd is a new to me DG scabbard with a Beckwith throat, red handled AFH (original tabs), 3rd is a DG scabbard with a throat that has paint over the markings (original tabs) UFH, 4th is a DG matching scabbard & throat with an OL cut down (crimped), and last is a DG throat on a Beckwith body with an unnumbered 1906 RIA (crimped).    Thanks again!   

Decided to round out my service rifle collection with an M16. Picked up a parts kit from Apex Gunparts and the rest is PSA.Came together nicely, might upgrade my lower if I find a more time period fitting replacement.

I like the first army patch. Interesting that it’s made on twill without the spaces within the A filled in. 

312 flew the F-4 Corsair during Korea. Did they ever used oxygen masks?

Pre WWII USS Yorktown Christmas card I recently found

Here are some pieces I have picked up for my Homefront collection over the past month. One of the sweetheart pillow covers is from the 1960s or early 70s, but its a base I did my basic and technical training when I was in the Navy so it was a cool find for me

Here is part of the material I have been fortunate to find this past month.
