Woobie blankets, bribed an airman for one and ended up with a bunch of them in various camos. Two live permanently in the car along with a trauma kit and booboo pack. Various Mystery Ranch packs, often find a Strider folder on me somewhere too.    As for older green things? Various sun glasses, and a newly made A2 jacket.  You might find the odd 1940s Omega or an 70s-80s Seiko on my wrist :) 

I remember the New Columbia guy talking with people at Olustee in the early 80s, talking about how tough it was to handmake German stuff that looked production line made.

I use my old issue kneepads when doing lawn work, along with a repro Afrika Corps M41 hat due to the long bill. I also use a musette bag for lots of stuff.

1920 style

Correct -- my mistake. We lived on one of the historic quarters on Lee Ave (built in the 1890s for captains commanding cavalry companies) on Ft Myer, just around the corner from the Army Band building (while I was on active duty), and I later taught at the National War College on Ft McNair (as a civilian). Fat finger mistake.

That looks closer to enlistment’s 1930 pattern dress emblem for hat.   May want to post closeup of the EGA.

I just need the money, I'm going for a mid-68 impression  i see in alot if picturers mid 68 the just have frames and no ruck or no ruck at all. I know of a couple more pictures, and I will try to find them 

My collection is a tiny tiny fraction of what some of you folks have. But after having to box it all up and move it out of my “home museum” to make way for the painters, I was heartily swearing to never buy or otherwise obtain one more thing 🤬! Ever!  Well, at least until the next cool thing I find… FYI, books are heavy!  One good thing though, I found my long lost brain 🤪.  mikie

You need more gear, LOL a lightwieght ruck loaded. Add a LAW rocket and two cans of 7.62 ammo add a towel around your neck and an M-16 a few more pounds just before your back breaks. Ha Ha...
