Given how many millions of the spiral wool puttees were made, its not unusual to find them with a lot of variations in color, weave, length, and how the ends were folded, sewn, and finished. Some have maker tags etc. The color variations are the most interesting; from a mustard olive to a true tan khaki to dark forest green, light brown, and about a hundred shade variations of olive green!

Let's all step back, take a deep breath and keep this on topic. Thanks.

I didn't see it on the maker list here. Thanks! 1st Lt Bar:  

MR. BLITZ67, HAVE YOU CONSIDERED GETTING PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING FOR YOUR ANGER ISSUES?         IF YOU REACT THIS HARSHLY OVER A SIMPLE POST, WHAT IN THE WORLD DO YOU DO OVER SOMETHING IMPORTANT.         PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT I'M NOT BEING FLIPPANT, I SINCERELY HOPE YOU SEEK HELP.  GOD BLESS

You seem to be very happy with it and that's all that matters, it is very close. I will say that the light you have in the kit is the US Army Signal Corps TL-194 jungle flashlight (US Army), it is the earlier metal bodied type. More commonly found in a full celluloid body, TL-194. So, I would say that is way out of place.

Thanks very much folks! Joe, this was my first Rye Field model. To start with the price, It´s about 60,- Euro what I think is more than fair for such a kit. The fitting precision is good, in some few cases it could be better. The detail is amazing, many PE parts, a full metal gun barrel etc. Because of the many tiny parts it´s not easy to build (e.g. the CROWS MG system consits of 48 parts). My main point of criticism are the tracks. Yet I have NO idea how to build them as intended but maybe it´s just me... In sum a great kit well worth the money.

. Hi Kevin,   Sorry can't help you with identifying the vehicle that uses the spark plugs you bought, I can't recall which vehicles are covered by the LV6 code on the master pack.  LV7 is for wartime Jeeps as witnessed by these old tags that I held onto, note AWO which I believe stands for American Willys Overland.   The G503 seen on the top tag is understood by most enthusiasts to be Jeep related.     Norman D.

Finally found the time to document the variations of my WWII general utility knives.  Posing them here for reference.     WWII MLK Knives.pdf

WOW!!!!!
