  1. Item Gone: FS/FT 1944 Winchester M1 Carbine *updated*

    Just as a side note, "Coxer" might actually be "Coker". It caught my eye because my wife has some family with that name, albeit in North Carolina. Anyhow, I'm finding some obituaries and references online to a Robert Wesley Coker, Jr. that might be your guy. Not seeing a lot on him right away...

    Item Gone: FS Savage 1907

  6. Be careful out there.

    Do your due diligence, but people retaining their out of state cell phone number when they move isn't all that unusual these days. I've had the same Google Voice number that I've ported through to a number of different cell phones over the last 10-11 years. The area code is from the other...

    Anyone collecting old bottles??

    I've only just barely dipped my toe in, in the most limited sense. Some of my wife's distant relatives ran a brewery in Missouri before Prohibition, and I've been trawling for artifacts ever since we discovered it last year. So far I've found a single bottle and a church key.

    What is this?

    The serial number put its into the later part of December 1943. They were serialized in batches of ten-thousand, with each manufacturer keeping their own count. When the first batch of the new year came out, there was no letter at the end (0001-9999). The second batch reset the count to...

    I've just got the one, a Mauser 1914 made in 1922, with the 1920 property stamp and markings for Landjägerei (Rural Police) Arnsberg.
