Hi George, Thank you for the great presentation, the Flanders poppies are a nice touch.
Best regards, Norm

A great presentation, George!! That has to be about the longest grip strap marking I have seen.

George,
Is there any particular reason that the sideplate appears to be " In the White"?

Wayne, I've never been able to figure that out. It actually appears to be parkerized or something like that. The back of the plate is normal rust bluing and it is the original side plate.

I hope that was a rubber rock you stuck that fine pistol in for photo's!

George, looking great! Well, except for those flowers. I think those are definitely 'repops' and not original. LOL, just kidding.

George, really wonderful, as usual.
btw, I do not see any trommel mag canvas on the photos...?

DonVoigt · 06-12-2016, 12:47 PM

George,
great pictures, and I really like the unit marking! Super.

Edward Tinker · 06-12-2016, 01:05 PM

Really nice presentation - this is really an amazing marking

I appreciate you taking the time to do this Geo, it is outstanding

Really nice grouping/ picture Geo. M.W. stuff is quite uncommon. The stalhelm is a rare pattern camo to boot. John

George, You always have the good stuff!
