Poughkeepsie, Dubow and Perry. The Perry in particular was in superb condition...but it was a 38.

IJA boots. If you've seen the Rose Anvil video where Weston cuts a pair in half, you know these were incredibly well-made:

Nice snag on the A-17A! I've been thrilled with mine. If you need a NOS strap, let me know.

Looks like a lot of great stuff, but I'm kinda glad I'm not there. I'm trying to scrape together the money to maybe semi-retire within the year. Also I don't think people are giving their stuff away at bargain prices either.

While we're sort of on the subject...is there a thread on VLJ dedicated to surplus small arms? I'd love to see what's in some member's collections (if it's not against the rules).
