    Nice looking coat. Looks like you are at least a Major in the Wehrmacht.

    UK's only full-size World War II German U-boat

    Close to me in San Francisco is the USS Pampanito. It is a WWII Balao class Fleet Submarine. I went through it once (will have to go again). It is great and boy are they small! Gives you an idea of what the crew had to go through.

    Did Wyatt Earp appear in a film...

    That would be interesting to know. I do remember his brother Virgil Earp appearing in a Quiz show in, I beleive, the 1950s.

    WWII Crusher and Garrison Caps

    Goofed on my earlier post. I have a SERVICE Cap not a Garrison Cap. Senior moment.

    WWII Photos (and Stories) of Our Loved Ones

    My father was in the US Navy from 1927 till 1956. I remember my mother helping him pack his sea bag when he left for active service during the Korean War. My father's brother was in the US Army during WWII and as far as I understand he served in CBI with Merrill's Marauders, can't verify it...

    P37 Canteen Stopper

    What Price Glory has new replacement corks with the hardware for $3.00 each. I think that would be your best bet. They are reproductions by the way. http://www.whatpriceglory.com/ukweb.htm

    WWII Crusher and Garrison Caps

    Forgot to mention that I also have an original garrision cap that is quite nice and fits me just right. I was lucky to find my size on e-bay and it only cost $24.00.

    WWII Crusher and Garrison Caps

    Just got my Chocolate crusher a couple of weeks ago. It was made by Dave at Diamond Caps. It is great and you might look at the website for an idea ofwhat he makes.

    Foxhole Radio

    That is great. I will have to make one myself soon. I have been interested in radios for a quite a while. I still have the Crystal and One Tube radios that I made in Junior High School in the mid 1950s. I made a crystal radio just a few months ago from a Quaker Oat Cereal box. It works...

    The Vintage Camera Club Thread

    I have two Argus C3 cameras also along with a telephoto & wide angle auxiliary lens. In addition I also have a Kodak and a Voigtlander and can't remember the model name. However they are put away right now as we are doing some remodeling so I can't take pictures of them to post. As soon as...

    Speed Graphic pics.

    I wish I had the Speed Graphics that I used in High School. They were a 4x5 and a 31/4 X 4 1/4 (I think). We used them for Yearbook pictures and also a bit for the school newspaper. This was back in the early 1960s. I graduated from high school in 1961.

    A VERY big 1937 Radio!

    Question, what is the web address for the radio forum? You have me curious as I am a Amateur Radio Operater and as a sideline I have made a few crystal radios and have a couple of old radios sitting out in my storage area (garage). Thanks RudyN

    The Prisoner

    That was a great series. I saw the whole series in two different runnings. I really enjoyed the ending.

    German bunker re-appears after 63 years

    There are stories of Sherman tanks and other armored vehicles being buried in the California Desert where there were manuvers during WWII. Don't know if these are urban myths or not, but it would be fun to find a nice Sherman.

    Aero Steerhide

    My first A2 is HH and so far the feel of the leather hasn't bothered me at all. It is not the most authentic A2 (US Wings) but it is what I could afford and the time. I am saving up for a GoodWear Leather A2 though.

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    I didn't smoke any of my pipes today, but yesterday I had some Mountain camp in my Pre-Republic Peterson and later some Premium Burley in a Peterson 317.

    Tinnitus "Fixes" ?

    I now have to wear hearing aids for higher frequency sounds. It was my fault because one time I went to an indoor pistol range and forgot my ear plugs and was to lazy to go back and get them. Luckily in a quiet room I can get along without them as long a someone is looking directly at me when...
