I agree.

[Degsy]

A lamb to the slaughter, you don't learn do you Jack, plenty of pics of these incendiary bomb shovels on the net, some having been sold at Beltring. When are you going to find something even slightly difficult:-D

:argh::argh::argh::argh:

 

Yeah spot on - a chum sent it to me today asking what it was :sweat: ( I made I knew what it was) but later found out is was an incendiary shovel.

 

You guys are too clever - only got half way through my model :cry:

Now that is a challenge Degsy - I will have you all one day.:cool2::cool2:

[gritineye]

Jack, it Just so happened that Graham Germany had a framed set of these cigarette cards for sale at Beltring,

 

http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/homefront/cards/cman.html

 

I then spotted an incendiary shovel for sale in the stalls almost immediately, just a chance coincidence really! Yours doesn't look the same but it had to be one.

 

Watch those match sticks you may start a fire!

Now that is a challenge Degsy - I will have you all one day.:cool2::cool2:

 

 

 

Hmm... I won't hold my breath, one man against all the knowledge on here, snowballs and a hot place come to mind.:-D

 

But think about it that is a compliment to you:idea:

[Tony B]

[Adrian Barrell]

[chevpol]

Mark :cool2::cool:

[ford 369]

german horse gas mask (half) the pointed end goes up the horses nose and is made of bakelite

[Tony B]

:banghead: Forgot various people have visted Jersey Museums! Has to one of the most bizzare pices of military equipment ever designed though.

[chevpol]

My dad owns a set, didnt have the canister on the side though!!!

 

Mark :-D

Edited August 14, 2008 by chevpol
he still got it so altered post!!!!!

[Tony B]

I've seen two types one with canister one without. Like a large Cornetto cone. The things should have a leather strap that went round the curb groove holding the animal's mouth shut. considering the size of a horse's lungs wonder if they ever worked.

[ford 369]

not only visited the museums but bought one of these masks in Jersey around 10-15 years ago

:argh: When I think of the kit lying around when I was a kid! two German feild phones, Ten Shillings! Took them to school and John Watley the physics teacher helped me re wire them, a wooden rifle rack dragged out a bunker the sand dunes. An old Jeep wrecked and half buried at St Peter's. German barbed wire by the roll, got p**** off digging it out of the feild and dumping it. A friend's Grandfarther used a set of German Heavy horse harness for years on his horse Dolly. KAR 98 bayonet, swopped it for some bike bits!
