I was born about 100 years too late! Anyhow I got my gear and I'm going to hunt big game in BEA. The year is 1919. Who wants to come with me on this adventure.

I'm taking my Lee Speed in .303, I will be using 215gr Kynoch cartridges, and solids. I have my service .38 Webley, compass and an American fighting knife which I traded some Yank back in France for a few packs of smokes.

Anyone can join me, just one rule. You must have the gear... So put it up and lets have a look.:)

I'll tag along.

I'll bring my M98 9.3x62 and my Smith and Wesson Second Model Hand Ejector 455. I'm short on 9.3 ammo right now but should be able to secure some on arrival. I've enough ammunition for the Webley to keep myself out of mischief for the time being.

Whoops! I also noticed that my compass case is dated 1940!! Umm, maybe it's 1946, but that is not as cool as 1919.

No problem!!:D

I have two enfields in 38 S&W my self and are wishing for a webley Mk V!!

ps, I thought that the compass and acceseroies were pretty neat!!
 
Didn't the knife have brass knuckles as well or is this another model? Not an expert just curious................Harold
 
In the spirit of the thread I submit the following images from German East Africa:

All I can think of is somebody bubba'd a perfectly good piece of history to comply with modern-day laws when it comes to the knife, the rest is pretty nice ...
 
hmmm, i would have to pack my Norwegian Krag thats been rebarreled to 6.5x54 M/S, and the my Winchester 1895 in 7.62 Russian. 73 peacemaker in 45lc for a sidearm, and a 20 guage Auto 5 for the shotgun.
