I've been cleaning out the closet this week and thought that new collectors would like to see some old stuff that I have accumulated in the past. This is the first of a few of the pictures that I,ll post. I purchased the Knee Mortar in the 60s for $30.00!!!!!!!! It is registered "live". Banjomike PS The flag is a "Youth Assoc. of the Kina branch of Tomitansan Village. Current "Yomitan Village, Okinawa Perfecture. This flag was captured in Guam. BM




That is one fine set up! The knee mortar and ordnance are really nice!

Imagine this in an overly dramatic Captain Kirk (William Shatner) style voice.....

I didn't pay to much for that old Arisaka, I just bought it a little bit too soon!

Great stuff! If you ever have the time, I'd love to see the Kiska grenades up close! Finding these with the paper labels intact is rare. Curious what the red paint means on the one grenade. Jim

I really like the footlocker. I think someone has a list of the location of the APOs, Jerry Price is who comes to mind. I have a 38 carbine and the box it was sent home in, I really like it. Trey
