    Default Bought 2 big boxes of US militaria.

    Just going over the big things:

    2 front seam swivel bale helmets

    1 Korean War liner with 4ID decal.

    1 Strange liner, looks like made out of cardboard and covered in cloth. Very lightweight, not in the best of shape.

    I named officers bag.

    1 nice brown WWI dated .45 holster

    2 sets leather riding gaiters

    1 big Navy marked lantern

    SPAM war canteen, but is marked to 1st Div?
    Enfield, everything else is just a rifle. Unless it's a Garand.

    Long pig, it's what's for Dinner!

    Hal how about pictures. You liner that you say is made of carboard is probably a Hawley which is in demand for collectors.

    Site listed a hawley as $470 does that sound right? I would guess they are pretty rare now.
    I own firearms not to fight against my government, but to ensure I will not have to.
