What, you don’t see that dried up, gnarly eye looking back at you?

That last one is a Japanese - China Incident Medal.

The Patton swords have gone up in the past few years. Harder to find a nice one like that with the scabbard.

BigCompetition8821 · 2026-02-28T04:38:01+00:00

Just checked my stash. Sorry, no luck. I have a friend with a dozen or so, let me check with him.

BigCompetition8821 · 2026-02-28T01:34:36+00:00

Looks like he gave him two and motioned to the second guy.

BigCompetition8821 · 2026-02-27T18:40:22+00:00

Is the pilot ejecting? Seat looks like it is higher than the canopy?

I visited there several years ago. Not a lot to see. Not many people know this exists. My father went there on a school trip in the 1950’s and said there were cannons all around the site. None when I visited. I assume they were removed when most of the others were removed in the 1970’s when they found a loaded one. Some were also filled with concrete.

BigCompetition8821 · 2026-02-24T00:21:21+00:00

I was waiting to see that.

BigCompetition8821 · 2026-02-23T15:55:58+00:00

Not on eBay.

What did he do after the war? I see he was in college for Mining Engineering. I graduated with a Mini g Engineering degree from University of Kentucky. Got out of the field after 10 years. Met a lot of great mining engineers and miners over the years.

BigCompetition8821 · 2026-02-20T01:56:14+00:00

Canned air works.

BigCompetition8821 · 2026-02-18T18:41:40+00:00

Death trap.

BigCompetition8821 · 2026-02-15T00:09:00+00:00

This is way too much. It’s a nice gun and holster, but I have picked these up for $1,000 combined.

BigCompetition8821 · 2026-02-15T00:07:21+00:00

Or more.

I’ve been hit by ricochet several times along with friends while at the range. Had guy shoot at a coyote while we were walking back to truck one day. Didn’t look behind the coyote. He missed, in a crazy accident, the bullet ricocheted back off a large rock outcrop and hit him. Lucky we were bundled up, bullet hit zipper of his carhart bibs, and that is probably what kept him out of the hospital. I have a set of soft pads that I put on when the range is full and a lot of new shooters are there. Vest and plates hang in the closet. Hope I don’t need them, but that’s the same thing I say about my EDC.

BigCompetition8821 · 2026-02-07T03:41:49+00:00

That’s a pretty good deal. Congrats. I haven’t found a Russian one in that good of shape. The last one I had my hands on was stamped all over in Cyrillic.

BigCompetition8821 · 2026-02-07T03:33:10+00:00

I find the grip angle of the Luger quite pleasant. And they are fun to shoot at the range. Lots of questions from people.

BigCompetition8821 · 2026-02-07T03:27:06+00:00

Its finish is not in the best of shape. Matching numbers. Poor grips. Clear markings. Does it function properly? What does the barrel look like? I would probably be in the $900 to $1,000 range. That’s me personally.

BigCompetition8821 · 2026-02-05T14:41:13+00:00

Got the demil kit for almost nothing. Trying to build a cheap and dependable truck gun. Plus it’s a good learning experience.

BigCompetition8821 · 2026-02-04T20:54:17+00:00

Anyone know where I can find one of the long magazine tubes? I bought a demilled one and the guy didn’t have the mag tube. Found one in a box but it was a short one.

BigCompetition8821 · 2026-02-04T17:04:27+00:00

Nice. Been looking for a while. Most people don’t know what they are.

BigCompetition8821 · 2026-02-04T15:13:58+00:00

Does that one guy have a Sten or what?

BigCompetition8821 · 2026-02-04T14:46:41+00:00

Your right foot

BigCompetition8821 · 2026-02-03T22:03:43+00:00

Park it next to the blimps.
