Chris Boonzaier Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 It is a 100% WW1 bringback... funny thing is... there is only a "19" on the spring cover. Usually there seems to be a 1914, 1915, 1916 or wjatever.The Sledge I can take as luggage on the aircraft, only thing is.... it is too heavy. i need to take it in 2-3 pieces.That is why I need to know it it can be unassembeled without damaging it.bestChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Chris, you've got "The Bug" real bad lately... I could recommend a good 12-Stepper for ex-Militaria collectors in Dortmund ;>) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what will Mrs. B think when you start parking Jagdpanzers in the back garden????? I am thinking NO problemo:Huskies.OK, malamutes.1) Wait until winter so the north polar ice cap is WELL frozen2) fly to Alaska for the conclusion of the Iditarod dogsled race.3) hire one of the losing teams4) go5) Do not use motorized transpolar transport--cannot EAT motorized transpolar transport!6/PS) make sure Simon Orchard is home before heading over the pack ice to Norway.Don't scoff. Where my Swedish family came from, when the Gulf of Bothnia froze over they used to walk (NOT their cars-- see Boy With Dog) over to Finland. [attachmentid=47404]Now with GPS and cellphones, you don't even need to carry along your own line-of-sight telephone poles for the vast trackless frozen wastes, either. PS The sled does NOT come apart. That's why scrawny 1918 draftees had to be chained to them to heave the things through churned up mud. (If NOT chained they tended to... abandon the @#*%ing things)(It could be worse, folks. He could get into whale taxidermy... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev in Deva Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 (It could be worse, folks.
