    WWII Wehrmacht Heer Gürtelschnalle

    It just goes to prove, you learn something everyday! I couldn't for the life of my figure this out until I saw Smokey's photo of the tip of the belt. Thank was the missing link, as it were! That is the value of having such knowledgeable friends in the Lounge! Thanks All!! -dixon cannon

    WWII Wehrmacht Heer Gürtelschnalle

    Sehr gut, Smokey! The fault dear brutus lies not in our stars but in our belt! It's the tip of the belt that I seem to be missing. I did not know that! So until I have a "hooked tip" on the end of the belt, i'ts not going to hook into the buckle. "Ich sehe, sagt der Blinden!"...

    WWII Wehrmacht Heer Gürtelschnalle

    That's "belt buckle" yank! I have an authentic Heer belt buckle and I have a non-authentic leather belt. What I can't figure out is how they got the buckle onto a belt. Were the buckles permanently fastened to a belt or were they separate items that could be attached to any new belt? I...

    Leica M8 - The ultimate modern retro camera

    I've still got my original Nikon F2 though the meter died years ago. My F4 sits in the closet with half a roll of film still unexposed and undeveloped. My D80 captured my heart with 10mp and I haven't put it down since I purchased it. -dixon 'Nikon' cannon

    Do you remember your first vintage hat purchase?

    Yes I do! Having won the winning bid on eBay by sniping at the last minute, I went out to PayPal and entered my Password and then pressed the purchase button! What a thrill it was too, I remember it to this day, even though I've done it countless time since. But it's that first time that...

    Gas Flap

    Ah, ha!.... is that collar flap on Gen. Macarthur's shirts a "gas flap"? I've only seen it on shirts he wore but never on general issue shirts. -dixon cannon

    Hitler remains not Hitler.

    To quote Arte Johnson; "Verrrry Intarestink! But....schtupid!!" (LOL) (Correction: Arte ain't dead yet! That was Henry Gibson that died a couple of weeks ago.)

    Hitler remains not Hitler.

    I'm sure everyone already has, but the film 'Untergang' is a great view into the last days of Hitler. It is based on the interviews with Traudl Junge, one of Hitler's secretaries and her documentary, "Blind Spot". -dixon cannon

    What are you wearing today??

    Today I was actually able to put on my Stetson 'Gordon' straw and wear it all day. That means that is finally getting cooler here in the Valley of the Sun - around 100F! Soon I'll be back in my felts - by, say, November!! -dixon cannon
