My daughter has the flu. So I had to stay home with her today. While having nothing else to do, I decided to dig out all of my belt fed paraphernalia. This is the first time that all of this has been together at once. I've still got a few other little pieces that I couldn't locate, but this is the majority of it.
I know this collection pales in comparison to what many of you have, but I am very proud of it.
The carry handle on the 1919a4 is post war, it just forgot to take it off.
I also know that I'm carrying around an extra hundred pounds of fat, that a typical WWII GI would not have, but I love displaying this stuff at living histories and WWII events along with the '43 Willys.
What am I missing? I need leather handles for the wood boxes, but I can make those. A funnel, and canteen would be nice.
