    U.S. Navy bridge coats

    That is neat. I'll have to find a copy. I wonder if I can find a copy while in Japan. Looks like it's sold out everywhere that I can find. And going off of the Sukajan issue I'll pay at least double of what it costs in Japan. Yeah. Was looking through those links and there was some good...

    Recently picked up a vintage Navy bridgecoat.

    Update! Found something very interesting about the buttons. I had posted this up in a Facebook group and someone questioned the buttons. He said they weren't Navy and thought they might be for the Surgeon General, on account that in the picture it looks a bit like a caduceus. While I knew it...

    U.S. Navy bridge coats

    I wonder what this "double-breasted sack service coat" is. From here, http://www.usww2uniforms.com/USN_officer_men_blue_service_coat.html It sounds like the "sack" is a design where the two halves are joined together on the back. Very interested in the Japanese book.

    U.S. Navy bridge coats

    Nice to see the pictures back up. I wonder how the black stripes were put on the sleeves. Sewn on top like how the gold ones now are done or some other way. I ask because on the one I have I don't believe it's sewn on top. I'm assuming that the one on mine, a single thin stripe, is for an...

    Recently picked up a vintage Navy bridgecoat.

    It's has a real nice heft to it. The shipping label on the box mine came in says 8lb. Also, I did it! Figured out the updated image information for Doctor Damage's pictures. So if you open one of the broken image links it will give you an error message. For example this one...

    Recently picked up a vintage Navy bridgecoat.

    Yeah. Don't think it will be easy, if I can find a way to look up old records like that. Thanks for the name. Had to look that name up. Just Johnny Valentine came up with a pro-wrestler, was confused by that. Then I added in A. Anderson, lol. Some nice rockabilly. If it was for telescopes, I...

    Recently picked up a vintage Navy bridgecoat.

    You can click the images to go to a bigger picture. Was searching ebay for a WW1 peacoat actually and there just happens to actually be a post-WW1 peacoat up, still up. It's still the WW1 style, not sure when it changed. Really tempting but I think right now my wife might kill me if she found...

    Show us your Guns!

    Been quite some time since I posted. This here is a SITES Spectre HC pistol. Got it for a big reason because it's in the N64 game Goldeneye, the other reason due to it's rarity and that it is just a sweet looking and unique firearm. Known as the Phantom in game. Also a big reason why I got my...

    Abbott & Costello Meet the Golden Era

    I've got a special edition DVD box set that has all their movies. I love their Meet The "insert monster" movies.

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    Figured this is a good spot for these. I went up to the Mullin Auto Museum. It's up in Oxnard, CA. If you watch Jay Leno's Garage on YouTube you might of seen the place, he's looked at a few cars from there. It is awesome. Took the tour and then walked around getting more pictures. It's not...

    Show us your Guns!

    Finally got the grips off. One spring to control the hammer and trigger. Found something interesting. I noticed what I had thought were scratches on the loading gate thing when I was first looking at it. I believe they might actually have been put there on purpose. Looks like a "VI". Also got...

    Show us your Guns!

    The tag said it is a .22 Short, and that's all I know about it. There is no name or serial number on it, only three little stamps on the part that swings out to hold in the round and the same stamps on the right side. Once I saw this I knew I had to have it. Only payed $250 for it. The...

    WTB: USN "donald duck" hat, 7 1/4 - 7 1/2

    Thanks but I've already found that website and unfortunately they are reproductions. Not a bad fallback option but I would prefer an original.

    WTB: USN "donald duck" hat, 7 1/4 - 7 1/2

    So yeah. Looking for an enlisted sailors "donald duck" hat in the 7 1/4" to 7 1/2" range in at least a pretty decent shape. Thanks.

    Antique railroad watch

    Ok, so I'm assuming then that the nubs act like a flywheel and also as a balancer like wheel weights on a car. Would explain why there are extra holes. Interesting.
