Air Gunners wing, J R GAUNT ??? London. Good - Bad - Ugly??  

Always worth digging in old tool boxes, the amount of linesmen pliers and folders I’ve pulled out of them over the years keeps me going. Filled a MG cleaning kits too. 

I have seen people referring to dates on plastic buckles, is the number in the circle in the top left what they mean?

Here's the show flyer for the upcoming Des Moines, Iowa Military show: April 17, 18, 19, 2026. Held in conjunction with the Trade Show Productions Ltd. Gun Show in Des Moines, Iowa. All information is shown on the flyer. I hope to see you there. Thanks, Alan      

Just got these yesterday and today. The first one is a member of the 11th airborne and is wearing a swing cap. The second one is a photo of a soldier named Herbert or Carter 1943 and it shows him on a motorcycle, he is also wearing a tank destroyer battalion patch as well. The last one is a soldier who is wearing a tanker jacket with an armored division patch but I’m not sure which one it is. That one is dated January 14, 1945. I’m not positive, but I believe the tanker is stateside I’m assuming?

Hi Kurt   But embroidered where?   Phill

If your interested Ebay has a few vendors selling replacement grips, most if not all, faithful  reproductions.
