Hi John,

No didn't win the lotto . However, better yet, my wife has been visiting her family in Cambodia/Laos for the last 3 weeks so I'm trying to make purchases before she gets back.

Steve

Excellent idea

Thanks guys for your all of your comments. I'm in the process of buying a new house which has a large bonus area that I will designate as my war room! I will finally be able to display nearly my entire collection. Right now everyting I own is in a closet with just a few things in my den.


jacquesf, will do on the M40. I may know of another M40 and I'll keep you posted. Juan Sanchez led me to the M43 through his network. He bought a real nice GJ, M36 tunic (I hope he posts it) and I got the scraps which was the M43.

Amazing stuff, Steve!! I love the M38 AND the Transport Officer's tunic!

[jacquesf]

Steve, finding a m40 would be great. You will have to post pic's of the war room. Setting up a war room is for me half the fun of collecting. Jacques

Jacques,

I've seen your war room and it is amazing to say the least! Some of the ideas I have for my war room came from your war room thread in the collections forum.

Paul, Good to hear from you again. I see that you have started a thread in the collection forum also. Very cool! I think I'll start a thread of my collection in the collections forum here shortly?

I don't have all that rare stuff that most of you guys have. I hope to land a Panzer Wrap here soon. I'll keep you all posted.

Of course this will have to happen before the wife gets back. She hates this stuff! Each time a package arrives its WWIII around here.

I feel your pain, brother!

[airborne_steve]

I almost forgot I also received this last week also!

Web "A" frame pack, complete. Thses are a pain to find now days. I regret ever selling all my A frames back in the early 80's.

I decided to play army to day and drag some of my field gear out of their boxes from under my stairs. The MG42 is my baby. Good times with that at the range!

I don't mean to brag but this is only half of what I have in my field gear department.

My compliments on such a nice overall collection. Wonderful field gear.
