    Question about fountain pens

    A great starter vintage pen is the Parker 45, these do not have the snob appeal of the 51, but are superb writers and made recently enough to be trouble free and are reasonably priced. The Pelikans are excellent pens, I love them. And for a bullet proof modern pen the Cross ATX are my everyday...

    My 16 gauge Fulton is at the smith's getting a new buttstock installed. Once I get it back and finished, I'll post it for you!

    Question about fountain pens

    Great choice and welcome to a fine addiction. If you write a lot, you will run through a lot of cartridges and discover the economy of bottles. Shaeffer Skrip and Parker's Quink are almost foolproof inks and run well in almost any pen. A good piston filler like the Lamy 2000 or the Pelikans seem...

    Sarge, I've shot a couple of the .40 Hi-Powers and they were extremely nice handling.

    What do you use to shave?

    Col Conk's brushes are very good. Their soaps are, as others stated, middle of the road. Mama Bear's stuff is tremendous.

    Cleaning my hat... a slightly odd question.

    Would a quick spray with Lysol work?

    any one else a fan of the old & odd pocket heaters? opinions?

    Please stop over at www.surplusrifleforum.com we are friendly there and have a very good milsurp pistol section, that will cover many of the models you are interested in.

    In praise of the cheap wool crusher!

    Okay, this will sound crazy, but this is to say how useful these cheap and plain hats are. I've got two that are my everyday work hats. I bought them on sale at Rural King [ a chain of farm supply stores] and they see use and abuse everyday. They are not as nice as a Stetson or Borsalino, but...

    Pen suggestions

    I can't believe I forgot these, the Harley Davidson Combustion and Horizon pens from a few years ago. Heavy, all metal, made by Waterman and just get a universal converter and they write beautifully.

    What's for Dinner?

    Made us some homemade Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup. Got lots of yums and everyone had seconds, so i guess it worked.

    Pen suggestions

    The Pelikan 215 series uses a brass liner unlike most of their line and are superb writers, piston fillers. The Cross ATX is built like a tank, heavy and has an adapter available that works well. Both have very good nibs, with Cross generally running somewhat wide.

    fall /winter boot Roper (wellington) vs lace up

    I have these and they are extremely comfortable for day long wear. http://www.wolverine.com/US/en-US/Product.mvc.aspx/7570M/0/Mens/Wolverine-8-inch-Kiltie-Lacer?dimensions=0 I dyed them a dark brown as mine take a beating and it hides the wear better. They will take a really good shine as well.

    Vintage Police Uniforms

    Nice to see this thread up again. I'm a parole Agent, so i am non-uniform now, but let me put a couple of points out there about the "new" look of LEO uniforms. Trousers with stripes on the leg cost about twice what a BDU style pant does, plus is more expensive or fussy to clean, where the BDU...
