I think the "street names" is a great idea! The possibilities are endless with that naming process. -

I just wanted to say that John refurbished an old Stetson Stratoliner for me last year and did an excellent job. Thanks John. -

Atticus, The manufacturer's name can be hard to see because it is partially covered by the rear sight. Get a flashlight and look underneath the rear sight above the serial number and you should be able to make it out. You don't have to remove the sight. The sight just hangs over the name...- Landman

What is your favorite aircraft of all time?
Thanks for the explanation guys. I just remember thinking that sure is weird for such a high tech airplane to be leaking fuel like an old wore out jalopy. I also remember nobody being too concerned about it catching fire! Stearman's post explained that. -

No problem. If you do buy one make sure you take the brim binding off of the hat or sand off any imperfections on the brim edge before using it. These cutters follow the brim edge and the bindings or any imperfections on the edge will cause problems with the cutter. -

Atticus, Col. Frank J. Atwood also inspected Ithaca and Remington Rand 45's for the ordnance department. Below is a picture of my Ithaca with his initials under the slide release behind the trigger. The U.S. Ordance acceptance mark is on the other side of the slide and the "P" proof mark is...- Landman

Atticus, That is a beautiful carbine. You are correct that NPM/FJA represents National Postal Meter and FJA represents Col. Frank J. Atwood who inspected the firearm for the U.S. Ordnance Department. The wheel and cannon is the ordnance department acceptance mark. There should also be a "P"...- Landman

Roger, Your trim job turned out nice. What did you use to trim it with and how much did you cut off? If you are planning to do a lot of hat trimming below is a link to a nifty little hat trimmer. I have one in both sizes and use them a lot. Mostly on wide brim westerns but it works great on... -
What is your favorite aircraft of all time?
I've always loved the look of the SR71 too. I saw one here in San Antonio at an air show years ago at Randolph AFB. After it flew in they parked it, roped it off, put armed security around it and the pilot stood next to it answering what questions he could. He wouldn't tell you much about it's... -

"U.S. M1 Carbines, Wartime Production, by Craig Riesch" is a very good book about M1 Carbines. Another good reference book about M1 Carbines is "The M1 Carbine Owner's Guide, by Larry L. Ruth".- Landman

I bet that is a nice one. I'd love to see it. My Dad carried one in the Pacific during WWII and he said that sometimes when they cleaned them they would get together and do it in a group. They would take them all apart and one guy would clean the barrels another guy would clean something else...- Landman

Yes, Winchesters are definitely highly collectable. The Rockola and a true M1A1 is probably the most sought after because fewer of those were made. More Inlands were made than any another manufacturer. They are all highly collectable though. I did go back and look in some of my books and all...- Landman

This one is gorgeous. Of course they all are but I'm always immediately attracted to Silverbelly hats! Great looking display of hats Art.
