martylee Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I guess that headline made you have a look here! Sorry no vehicles! And it's also true. Last week I went to the depot where the army gets rid of their unwanted commodity. There I like many times before found "first field dressing" dated from march 1944 to february 1945, London, Arthur Berton. I also found shell dressing bags dated 1944-45. And the price is almost free! It's not something you really need, but still a intresting find that many years later. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of price would a set of WW2 webbing be to buy and post? I've bought a few sets og US stamped webbing there. I haven't seen them lately though. What's too bad about the bags is that have had a red cross, but due to regulations they have to be painted over. I think they were about 2 euroes. I think I'm going back there on wedensday. I'll see if I pick up a few more of these. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martylee Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 I made another visit at the Hovemoen today. The first I found was air drop containers, unfortunately not ww2, but modern type. But what I did find was the earlier mentioned shell dressing bags with the original red cross. Dated 1943 I also picked up a few more field dressings. I guess these will be the last ww2 items sold from the army. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martylee Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 A couple of years ago I posted some photos of a GAZ I stumbled upon at a norwegian military base. Now it's for sale at auction may 19th! http://www.auksjon.no/ForsvaretVisBilder.aspx?UID=519 Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoranWC51 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hiya Marty, I guess the Gaz 67B came to Norway from Korea in the early 1950's? The North Koreans / Chinese used quite a few Gaz 67B from Russian surplus stocks. Several Gaz 67B wound up in the United States. I've seen two myself during my travels in the States. Which auction will it appear in? Perhaps you can post a link to the auction? Kind regards Goran N Sverige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martylee Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 Weird! I thought I answered this last night!??? The dinner was great! Vodka marinated Entrecote with potatoes and ruccula salad and there was some wine, but not that much. And the alcohol from the vodka dissapeares during cooking... Well, anyway here we go again. They say this GAZ appeared in the early/middle 2000s. Might have come with norwegian forces serving somewhere else. These were in plenty in the middle east.
