Picked this up in Va. this weekend on the cheap at a little run down Flea Market.
It conforms to me . If anyone feels otherwise let me know.

I know you shouldn't buy the story but this one is great.
I went to my daughters boyfriends VMI graduation as we have known the him since he was a kid. He will be going into the Marine Corp OCS in September.
My problem is, I can never drive directly on a trip one way or the other without making a stop. Not to diverge from a great story but, once my wife and I were taking a trip to the"Big Easy" (New Orleans) and I made sure we had an 8 hour layover in Pittsburgh, so I could stop and check out the Max Show.
Anyway , back to the trap story. We stop at this sh!tty little flea market that's staple seemed to be broken fan belts, cheap Chinese goods and single shoes. After make a quick patrol I spied a glass case full of rusty collectables like bent keys, old spoons and cheap cigarette lighters. In between some of these fine items was a cardboard coin holder with a sales technique no seasoned collector of TR collectables could resist. I asked to see it and he pulled out a janitor sized set of keys and opened the padlock holding the flimsy latch keeping the case secure. I then spent about thirty seconds fingering the trap , reassuring myself that I indeed did find a good one . He dropped his price twice before I could blink. He topped the sales pitch with " I know its a good one because I got it from Ole man Gibbons , he was in the war and I know Ole Man Gibbons is an honest man." I figured I should buy it
before the Va, State Police came in to arrest me for a Flim Flam crime.
I will be in contact with this fellow so he could send me some Polaroid's of a "Bagette" (gorget) he has at home
WHO COULD RESIST THIS BIT OF SMOOTH ADVERTISING OF A THIRD REICH COLLECTABLE.Comment
