    ONE SIMPLE RULE ON THE FORUM FOR SELLERS

    Thank you for your comment Tim, much appreciated and I am very glad to hear that you have made some great purchases here! In the decades that the forum has been active, there have been a couple of requests from new members as to..."what and where are the rules?" The unwritten answer has always...

    An old Canadian Militaria Collection

    Amen Steve! Recently we were called "nasty". I am certain that the Germans in both WW1, WW2 plus the Chinese in Korea thought of us as nasty as well. Elbows up! (y)

    An old Canadian Militaria Collection

    An incredible collection Doug and very heartwarming to see! It always annoys me to hear Canadians described as "so nice" as if we are a bunch of wimps. Your collection demonstrates the fact that the "truth" is just the opposite. We can begin with 1812, Boer War, WW1, WW2, Korea, and...

    ONE SIMPLE RULE ON THE FORUM FOR SELLERS

    Friends: I have absolutely no interest in establishing some "lawyer generated" list of rules for this forum as shown above. We are not Ebay or some auction house. Consequently, the rule here has been stated and I might add for the first time in all the years of forum "existence". To put it...

    ONE SIMPLE RULE ON THE FORUM FOR SELLERS

    I have been made aware of a problem that some buyers are having with members selling here on the forum. The issue occurs when a seller receives a contact stating "I want to buy this or I am interested" and the seller stalls on the deal hoping to receive a higher offer or they accept the deal and...

    DR 23 Officer Helmet With Bravery Star

    I finished this project yesterday as we had bright sunshine. The helmet was dropped off at UPS this morning and is now on its way back to Doug. Visor stitched and trim back in place. Dealing with 100+ year old "pin prongs" or haube prongs of any type can be tricky. Sometimes one of them will...

    DR 23 Officer Helmet With Bravery Star

    Another great suggestion Ron, thanks and I will try that out. I was able to stitch outside today in cloud/sun as it was only 80F. However, when we get over that temp, I stitch in front of our storm door which faces south and the sunlight comes directly in during the afternoon. So I still get the...
