Just Some Pictures

Just some picture I was fooling with today.

Those are some neat pics, especially the old brass shotshell.

That second knife looks sorta like a USN MK2 Mark 2 Camillus, or is it a KA-BAR? I gave my dad's Camillus to my daughter three years ago, just so it wouldn't get lost in the shuffle.

Very nice!

Is that brass object in the last picture a manual shell extactor you where like a ring?

The antlers were from a deer my dad shot probably 50 years ago in North Hudson NY, dress out over 200#'s. The Rugers...well enough said about those. The K-Bar is mine...bought in '73 shortly after Boot Camp, carried it everywhere for 20 years while active duty as well as occasionally since '92 when I retired. The Shotgun shell is out of a collection of ammo collected by my Grandfather, my Dad and myself...collected over about 80+ years. I posted that picture because although I have one I had never seen it before anywhere else. And the brass do-hickey is a shell extractor that was my Grandfathers. He had an old Double Hammer 12ga with Damascis barrels that did not have extractors that would eject the shells so you used the brass shell extractor to remove spent ones.

Lot of history in the photos. Thanks for sharing with us.
