I've read the comments on the makers of the M1902 Saber, though I was unable to open the link to the Lilley Ames catalog c1935-1945 above, and I just ordered the Harold Peterson book, The American Sword 1775-1945. I am very interested in finding a listing of M1902 makers, for I am building a subcollection of M1902s and want to get one by each maker, if at all possible. To date, I have sabers by Springfield Armory; M C Lilley Company; Wolf Brown, Germany; Henry V Allien Co; N S Myer, Inc; and American Military Supply Co, plus one that simply says "Made in U.S.A" (no period after "A"). Were there any others (beyond the additional names shown in photos above)? This is off-topic, but I also seek a Springfield Armory M1913 Cavalry Saber with a 1916 blade date, and would appreciate any suggestions about where to find one. Thanks for any help you can give. -

Hello Sir, I unfortunately do not have any written list. Information comes from my med training at Fort Sam in the 80s. Many of the senior instructors were VN vets. We compared notes with what they used and what had changed. Not much actually changed other than using bags instead of bottles for fluids. Although i saw plenty of bottled meds as well, but they were mostly i n Hospital setting, We were still using the M5 bag. Its contents and purpose remained basically the same. Ketch -

You are in the right section for the time period. If you are looking for an opinion on it, I'm pretty sure you want one from a guy who collects from this era. -

Saw this posted on FB today. Torpedoes used as gate posts. Here is the description form the topic Second World War Torpedo Gateposts in Antrim! My photographs show Torpedoes which are being used as Gateposts near Dunadry. I believe they are 21 inch Mark 8's The original grey paint can be seen and sadly there are some small holes and rust. Fabulous Relics! -

Well, there's the whole matter of budget to factor into purchasing a classic vehicle. 😅 That Buick's original paint job was English Green according to the data plate. Green paint is visible where it has peeled underneath the hood. Another car up for sale my mate showed me was a Peugeot 202, It could always be painted up with some Normandy Ambush Camouflage. Anyway, the casual hunt is ongoing. -

Also, not a fan of the edging material. Doesn't look to be like WW2 or US made webbing. Weave is very odd -

Thanks for bringing this to the attention of the collecting community. Now we know and future collectors should not be fooled. Charlie
