I wonder how big of a difference there is between an air rifle, such as the Haenel 300 and a Daisy Powerline Model 856 BB/Pellet rifle is? I completely forgot dad had purchased one back in the late '90s (I think), until I found it the other day while going through his stuff.

Thank you.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

I just inherited these three little pocket pistols. The first is an Ortgies 6.35mm circa 1922. Unfortunately someone did away with the original wooden grips; I'll need to replace these. The second is a Jimenez JA. 25... ...and the last one is a Jimenez JA .380.

Unexpectedly found myself in our local paper wearing my Buffalo hat. Picture was taken Halloween afternoon during a community event. Not a very good pic...

Have any of y'all ever made a puggaree for a Wolseley?

Hello everyone! I was recently gifted a Wolseley pith helmet by my nieces. It isn't a fancy one, and has one of those 'one size fits most' liners, and the chinstrap leaves a lot to be desired. I'm going to take it to my local hatter to see what he can do about the liner and chinstrap...

Recently acquired at a local action, a vintage Boy Scouts Yucca pack. From what I know, it's probably from the 1960s, but it's still in really great shape. I was able to find the owner's name and his Troop number and city, but I'm not finding any information on the Troop. I've even checked...

Following up on my Grand Poohbah hat... I have a new one for winter fun.

Visions of Huggy Bear....

And then there's Vermin Supreme.

Thanks for the advice. It does look like a Boy Scout canteen, but have found no indication of it. Palco produced some canteens for them, but those had about a 1" wall widening the thing. This one is basically a discus. I'm hoping there is a manufacturer's mark on it that can be seen once the...

Found a rather cool, vintage canteen the other day. No clue as to the brand, but I have an idea in mind for use within the Rover's vintage expedition gear collection. Someone has sewn a blanket material cover around it and I plan to remove it in order to see if there is a maker's mark. I'll...

Thanks. Virtually every vintage Rover owner I know here in the States fell in love with the vintage Rovers due to watching MoOWK. That's where I first saw them. Had no clue what they were until the mid/late '70s when I saw the W.H. Britains military Rover in a toy store!

Thanks. I also agree with you. Land Rover lost its way years ago and are now "fashion statements" as well, especially the newest one. Jaguar - Land Rover have even dropped the name and are just going with 'JLR'. They are no longer going to build their vehicles using the name 'Land Rover'...
