I added this musette bag to my combat uniform display. I'll try to follow up with better photos this evening:

I have 2 M1 Carbines and an M1 Garand in my home collection at my parents' house. I work/ live on a college campus right now... If I had a real firearm in this display I'd be instantly terminated!

Pvt. Winston (my girlfriend's nickname for my display...

) seems to be complete! Other than slinging a rifle over his shoulder (which I cannot do at this time), I don't think I could add anything else... Or am I wrong?!

I recently transferred the display from a hanger to a mannequin torso (Thanks Gary!)

This evening, I covered the mannequin's exposed plastic neck with a GI wool scarf. I also put wood blocks (painted black to look less conspicuous) into the cartridge belt to give it a more "fully loaded" look. Finally, I filled the three cells of the grenade pouch with empty beer cans to also make it look loaded. :P What do you guys think?!
