Looks like two of us had the same thought at the same time (check out the "Posted" times.

My long lost twin brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How's it feel to be a good looking ladies man as me???????????????

Where are they headed.........through the roof !!!!!!!!!!!!! With the 100 year anniversary approaching, every Tommy, Yank, Johann and Andre is wanting a part of the action, driving up the price. You can do one of two things.............sell out at a nice profit or wait till it's all over and buy at a nice price from those who paid too much for an interest soon gone. Well, there is a third thing you could do, box it all up and send it to a museum. If you decide to go that route, let me know and I'll send you my address.

Here we go again. A few photos I'm bidding on today are already 2-3 times what they really should be...

As General Nathan Bedford Forrest use to say on winning battles: "Ya git ther furst wi' da mostest".

Someone in the photo important later?????

She's is pouring a flippy!!!!!

I haven't been able to use the emoticons or anything else on the tool bar for months. I tried to figure out how to turn it back on to no avail.

Chip

Can I get a refund then?????

(They are back on now)

According to this it is neither...

:-)

You put your trust in a site who's owner is on the run from US Federal Law?

The brits called the germans, Jerrys and we yanks picked it up on our way through Britain to win the war, a second time. I think adopting the slang 'Jerry' from our british cousins for the Huns and bringing home 60,000+ british war brides was payment enough!!!!!! :) :)

Good stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice!!!!!

I usually miss jokes when it comes to the origins of words such as "jeri-rig" but in case you were serious I have always believed the term to be "jury-rigged". That is to say, something that came about, that was not considered normal, through the collaboration of a group of people.

Brian

I've heard of that term also when it came to an unfair decision but "jeri' was common during WWII like the 'Hun' was in WWI. When I was in, a five gallon can of gasoline came in a 'jeri-can', we temporaly fix things as in using wire to hold something together as 'jeri-rigging'.

Nice Ed

Not in the military! Its a War a World War everyones in...... cough!!! splutter!!! cough!!!... I do beg your pardon Gents.

Eric

I'm on good terms with the local police and when it arrives, I'm taking it to the crime lab and see what those stains are......catch my drift???

(OK!!!!!! who's playing with the on/off smilie control again)

Seems many soldierds did not have the big leather rigs, just a small loop on the holster....

Could this be where "jeri-rig" came into existence? 'AHHH!!!! just jeri-rig it for now"

I have this one too. This is for volunteer medical aides. These are the guys that transport and attended the wounded once they are removed from the field first aid stations. They are not in the military.

Chip

That is what I was thinking....at least it's authentic.

Thanks

Ed

Moved them here where they belong..................Acquired this one today, what can be said about the stamp? I think I know but I'm not the expert.

Thanks...much larger than I thought.

I was unaware that the bones of the two executed had been taken from the grave. Shameful!!!!

Ed,

Here is another example. I have the name of the doctor that wore this one.

Thanks again Chip, I constantly search for one.

Ed

I see thats the way it is...ok chum ok....

Eric

Really, I can't remember. I didn't pay any attention to it because it didn't interest me. You have no idea how many different sites I visit daily. If I do find it, I'll (whisper) send it by PM.

Where?

I'll stop at twenty....honest.

Eric

If I could remember, I'd tell ya but it wasn't a site that I daily check. I don't need one.

Hang about a small trinket uumm as a thank you would be nice btw I had to climb a ladder for that shot there was danger involved.

Eric

I recently saw one of those short handled spades for sale. Does that make them MG ones????

Who is the show off??

He's a hoarder and won't share either............He's off my Christmas list!!!!!!
