Hey , you guys are actually very funny and entertaining . Thought you were going to be a couple of boring 50 somethings, just ,, like I am but Hey ! Great post funny ,informative and interesting , subscribing right now !!
My two favorite Gnomes from up North! Love the postwar Bundesgrenzschutz items including that GSG9 helmet. That version replaced the 1st one used by GSG9 for 1 year which had the same suspension and liner system as the WW2 M38 FJ helmet. Yours is a nice example. They are not easy to find anymore. The ventless M53 is a nice score too! I’m thinking BGS given the texture. I recall the Polizei version as smooth but in the same green color. 🎉
Thanks Lloyd- these are a bit out of our wheel house, as they are not often seen anymore. But when I saw the condition and the decals on the one I knew I needed to know more.
The joke was that the very small woman's uniform would not fit Jerry... We have nothing but the deepest respect for the men and women who fought to keep America free. Do we have fun doing what we do? Hell Yes. We are not going to apologize for that. Life is too short not to have fun. Celebrate everything you can. While we hate to lose a customer, we don’t do what we do for the money. We do it because we love history, we love learning, we love finding, saving, researching, and sharing these artifacts and the history behind them. I would suggest actually spending some time in the shop with us. Get into one of the many deep dive discussions on history and the artifacts with us and our group of regulars. Maybe it will change your mind, and you will have some fun with it, or maybe you will just hate us more. Some people just don’t like what we do or how we do it. That’s fine. In the immortal words of Taylor Swift: “Hater’s gonna hate, hate, hate”…

Cool stuff. I just bought a rejected WW2 liner by mistake. I don't think mine was cut down though. We shall see.
Neat! send a pic when you get it!
If im not mistaken if a Camillus "kabar" doesn't say mk2 it's a post war. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure.
You may be right- we need to check into that- the MK2 knives are a world unto themselves! Did you sell you Leica lens?
Hey no different than wittman mixing a drink 😅
Hahaha - we need suit coats.
Mark was doing his Joe Biden impression when he was trying to show the "Eddie Rickenbacher" picture.
ouch! hey it was late...
A Centaur
ah right! Thanks!
So you throw mark under the bus on drinking all day I'm sure you haven't had any juice 😅😅😅😅
Hahaha- we miss you CFR!
Not sure what's so funny about items worn and used during World War 2. Everything is a joke I guess! You lost a customer.
