We moved recently and the unboxing continues. Look what I found. This was my wife's grandfather's (Captain Don) coverall. Captain Don was sent to Iceland during WWII and served two years post-war in Japan where his unit was in charge of grave registration and identification of US servicemen who were killed or died at the hands of their Japanese captors. It was understandably difficult work for Captain Don and his men.

I have heard that the mail order rifles generally are nicer. One of the mixmasters had a tag from 01/18. No way a decent deal would hang around that long. I suspect a few nice rifles trickle out every week and are snatched up on Thursday morning. Everything else is already picked over.
