It seems I'll be waiting a few more weeks or more with the news of the delayed shipping issue with the cheese grater and more unspecified magazine issues arising!
Lol agreed.
Are you local to Camp X area? If so let's have a race to see who's shows up first.
I certainly won’t argue that.
You sure it's not attracted to other T81? Nothing wrong with that, it's 2017...
Well, now that you challenged me, I am having doubts. One just never know. Not there is anything wrong with it.
This photo is very interesting to me for some reason..

'When one weapon just isn't enough'
This photo was featured on the cover of 'YANK' Magazine, Continental Edition of January 14, 1945, entitled "PRESENT ARMS" - it featured Pfc. Robert Leigh and his collection of enemy weapons taken by the 83rd Infantry Division during the Battle of the Hürtgen Forest. (MP.38 and MP.40's, an MG.34 and an MG42)
The Cover soldier:
Private First Class Robert E. Leigh, from Washington DC, was born on September 15, 1919. He had a Grammar school education and his occupation was listed as "Plumbers, gas fitters and steam fitters".
Robert Leigh (#33044651) enlisted in the service on May 22, 1941 in Richmond, Virginia.
In the European Theatre of Operation (ETO), he was a Rifleman, Private First Class in the 83rd Infantry Division, 329st. Infantry Regiment, 1st Battalion, B Company, where he was assigned on July 24, 1944, while the Company was in the vicinity of Sainteny, Normandy, France.
The picture for the Yank cover was taken in Gurzenich (Düren), Germany, probably just after the 1st and 2nd Battalion of the 329th Infantry Regiment had taken Gurzenich during the bloody battle of the Hürtgen Forest.
Robert E. Leigh died at age 76, on January 26, 1996.
