Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

I took better pics of a couple items for another site & am including them here. I do not know what language appears on the bandage. Roumanian?

Previous owner had it safety pinned to his shirt. I also picked up an e-tool withbadly damaged handle. I can't recall what prompted me to hump it all the way back. Dad was going to put a new handle in it & leave it in the sand box for my sisters. He never got around to that & Mom left them in a leaky shed with some other junk like my HS yearbook.

Both are shown with a 348 Win case for size perspective.

I had completely forgotten about both & found them when cleaning out the house after Dad passed away. The junk people don't keep! :? SW

Yep - 1953. What about Serbia? Well... I guess it would have been Yugoslavia then. I ruled out Bulgaria & Russia...

When I got it, I showed to Gunny & he said it was French... Riiiiiight! ;)

You don't have to be smart to make E-7! ;) SW

Yep - done deal. My friend from Budapest sez it's Hungarian and that company is still in biz.

Part of a combloc aid package, it seems. SW
