      Well, regardless of its history (found or not), it is a very nice find.

      Anyone have an accurate price on this item?   Ive seen prices of 150 to 250 on ones that haven’t sold yet.    The 150 has some damage.   I appreciate the help.

      . From my small Shoebox collection   rediscovered today a wedge of original 1945 Lubrication Charts for the quarter ton truck, these were intended to be folded in half and inserted in the 1944 TM9-903 Technical Manual which should be carried with each vehicle.  Published eighty-one years ago today 16 July 1945.  Note again no use of the word Jeep, only 1/4 ton truck Willys / Ford.        Norman D.

      . From my small Shoebox collection.   back in the mid and late 80's American Jeep enthusiast Ray R. Cowdery wrote two books on the ' All American Wonder ' the quarter ton truck,  note he used the correct term quarter ton truck.  I bought this page of ' stamps ' he published mid 90's with the intention of framing and hanging on a wall. These could not be used for mailing they were simply an image that could be attached to letters and envelopes.        Norman D. Landing, Forum Normandy Correspondent, 16 July  2O26.   ..

      https://tioh.army.mil/Catalog/Heraldry.aspx?HeraldryId=17971&CategoryId=20&grp=2&menu=Uniformed Services&ps=24&p=0   It could be the one shown at the above Institute of Heraldry website link. The fold in the uniform makes it look curved.

      Even to find that many contraband (un-registered vet bring backs) MG's in the wild would be next to impossible, certainly not in a closet, let alone that M20 Super bazooka. Unless maybe it's John Gotti's estate sale. When many of the dummy guns that IMA sold originally (they have bought back many and resold them for premium) they were all under $1000, even the MP-40. I remember the WW1 Vickers were around $900 shipped with the tripod. Bren's were like $350 shipped. M20 Super Bazooka's were like $400. Not sure what the MG34 were priced however they could be purchased under $1000. Now I think a WW1 Dummy Vicker's brings like $3500 to $4000. Dummy's were cool and gave the average joe an opportunity to have a famous MG (non-functional) for a fairly affordable price. IMA imported thousands of them from post-cold war Europe and the UK for dirt cheap. Used to love looking for their ad in Shot Gun Magazine back in the 90's. Even if those are all dummy's there is about $20K there if sold through a national auction house that specialized in Militaria.

      . From my small Shoebox collection.   looking through a carton of paperwork today I rediscovered this page of French postal stamps celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of D-Day, which I bought in 1974 with the intention of framing and hanging on a wall.  Sometimes it takes a while to getting around to doing things !!!!!!       Norman D.
