Chris,
Welcome to the H.M.V.F.! I have been to Victoria (I am from the other side of the 'Big Pond'!) in 1997 for the 25th Anniversary of my wedding. Lovely place.
I have a GPW Jeep.
Yes! I second Tony B., please, send pictures of the collection!
Thank you!

We apoligise for this comment, The Dodge owning fraternity! :cool2:
Tony,
since I was a teenager in my dreams there were an Harley-Davidson WLA and a Jeep. I have been able to get a GPW Jeep in 2004. An H-D is too expensive and I doubt I shall be able to buy one. However, I have a third choice: a Dodge Weapon Carrier!!! I love it!
However, I live in a condominium in a big old city and a BIG problem is where to park our daily car (not enough garages), go figure where to to find a place for a Dodge weapon carrier!!! It is a dream, just a deam...
Ciao!

I am a reenactor and I have a 1943 GPW Jeep. I collect military rifles both softair and dummy (such as the ones produced by the Spanish firm Denix). I have been many times to W&P and to Military Odyssey, where I meet my friends of the Mediterraneo Group. I also collect die cast military vehicles in 1/43 and 1/32 scale and 54 mm Britains model soldiers.

Hi to all!
I would like to receive info on the water can for the M1917A1 Water Cooled machine gun. This machine gun was mounted on the jeeps and I wonder what did happen to the water can: I cannot believe that it was just lying on the jeep floor rocking/rattling all around!!
I suppose the can was fixed/attached somewhere on the jeep floor, but where and how? I have books on the jeep but I have not seen any photo showing it.
I also need the original ammo can to be attached to the D7431 MG jeep mount: where can I get one by mail?
Thank you for any help!
Ciao!

I have just obtained a dummy Browning M1917A1 water cooled machinegun for my Jeep. Now, I need the correct cradle D7431. I do not need a real one, it is too heavy (and, perhaps, expensive?) I prefer a replica. The dummy water cooled is a little more that 7 kilos (around 15 pounds) and a real heavy cradle is useless.
Any suggestion where I can buy one? I also need the correct ammo can and a water chest.
I am a reenactor and I am in Italy and we here do not have (yet!!) problems with the VCR.
Any help suggestion is most welcome!!
Thank you!
Ciao!

Hi to all!
This is my first posting. I like 'green machines' and since I was a teenager I dreamed to have a WLA Harley-Davidson and a Jeep! Five years ago I was able to buy a GPW Jeep: my wish come true!
I go to War & Peace and to Military Odissey and enjoy them a lot. I also am a reenactor.
I need help in getting a replica mount for a dummy Browning machingun for my Jeep and I am posting my request in the gun section of this Forum. Please, check it! THANKS a lot!
Ciao

P.S. Why "Alamo"?? Because I am a fan and a student of The Alamo (Texas), remember the famous 1960 John Wayne movie?
