Hey Rooster!, Did you know that loose lips do more than sink ships? They can land someone in prison, food for thought...The Espionage Act of 1917, enacted just after the beginning of World War I, makes it illegal to obtain information, capture photographs or copy descriptions of any information relating to national defense, with the intent for that information to be used against the United States or for the gain of any foreign nation.

The only thing that "Sophie" collects, is information. Think.

. Thank you both as said it was a minor scuff and I'm still about, back in the 1970's one day at Bob Plant's farm Jimmy Page showed some interest in Bob's Austin Champ so offered  to take him out for a ride in it, I took it off-road on some local hills in the area, Jimmy became somewhat concerned when two of the our wheel where not on the ground,  he leapt out and and stood some yards away and said he wouldn't  get back in until all four wheels were on the ground again .  I missed so many decent photo opportunities as cell-phone cameras hadn't been invented then., the band, the places, the people the car's the women and such. !!!!!!     This shot does feature Bob in the driving seat.      Norman D.

HI,   DGMCO shortened, a rare and beautiful find. I have one M7 DGMCO but a new sheath has been added.

I was looking through my M4s and noticed one of my Uticas that was different than the other two. Both the handle and latchplate were different. The handle had 6 narrow grooves and the latchplate only had a dimple instead of the SP. A bit of research revealed that it was an early version that was equipped with a Utica latchplate. Here's some pics of it.

Loose lips sink ships........

PS! I can take more pictures on request.
