Today's Gunshow Haul

[Guardian 5]

Gents - I made some nice purchases at the gun show today in Concord, New Hampshire.

For less than $100.00 USD, I picked up a Bundeswehr BV8 Infra-red nightsight by Eltro, a very salty Bundesmarine chief's hat, one sew-on rank insignia and three specialty badges.

I'll upload more pictures on the appropriate threads lest I invoke the wrath of Gordon

Here's the chief's lid; it's a 1974 cap by Carl Isken.

Here's the patches; always handy for badging up a moleskin jacket.

Another view of the BV-8.

As stated earlier, I'll upload more pix on the appropriate threads.

Great haul, congrats! Did you test the B8-V, does it still work?

Thanks TJ for the thread. When time permits with you can you give the tag information on the night sight?

Thanks Lars.

Like most cool toys, batteries were not included. As a matter of fact, I'm not sure what kind of battery (s) to use. I know that batteries for the later Orion series are available, the next step is to see if they're compatible systems.
