Wow, thanks chaps for the detailed replies! Measuring more accurately, those dimensions are pretty much bang on. Fascinating what turns up! Many thanks, Best regards, Simon

Hi all, I have a slightly unorthodox question. Near to me is the site of a US Navy storage depot that was built in 1944, which was very important in supplying equipment the US Navy needed for D-Day. Some discarded items can still be found on the surface, and I have found a couple of the engine valves pictured. I found one valve that I have been able to identify as coming from a Willys jeep, but I found a couple which are of unknown vehicle origin. Can anyone help ID what vehicle/engine this valve would have come from, please? It would be a great help in building up the picture of what was stored at the depot. It is made of chromium steel, and measures; Height - 124mm - 4 7/8" Head diameter - 32.2mm - 1 1/4" Shaft diameter - 8.5mm - 5/16" Marked on the bottom is 'GM 41 EX', which I assume is General Motors and 1941? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Simon

Hi all, What an interesting thread, which I have now bookmarked! I have a few more current items with new contract codes, which I can help add to the list. They are all the same garment: 'Gloves, Contact Combat (Aramid)' Contract no. DC/04048 dated 2015. Contract no. LSL/DC/0032 Dated 2018. Contract no. LSL/DC/0078 dated September 2020. I have some post 2015 dated 'odds and sods' somewhere, I'll have to dig them out and add the contract numbers if I can. Best regards, Simon
