    B6 Questions

    Hi Guys, and gals, Great forum, it's nice to see there are still people who appreciate the quality of years gone by. Shame the companies are few and far between. I'm Irish and living in Ireland again and looking to pick up a military shearling. I'm in two minds between a D1 and a B6 and...
