I forgot to mention that one of our workers found this .50cal dummy round in the heap a few days ago. The headstamp reads: FA 4


Also, a LONG time ago I found these German letters in the trash. I totally forgot about them but would like to have them translated. I'll take quality pics of them tonight! Who should I turn to on the forum for help translating?


Sorry for the dark photos... my room at home is a cave!

FA = Frankfort Arsenal or Armory-I have one of these steel cased drill rounds.

Thank you, sir! I just read that the "4" nails it down as 1944.

For those of you interested, here is a write up done about our recycling facility:

Today was my first day working in a while! I spoke to a customer who said he is cleaning out an old Veterans of Foreign War (VFW) Hall and he said he would bring me anything he finds. I also found this nice sewn 50star flag.

Seeing it neglected like this really kills me...

Shame about the flag's condition - but it's safe now.........!

Any idea how I should clean it? It was absolutely covered in stink bugs...

Most unfortunately, this flag should be respectfully retired and burned.

That never crossed my mind... but you're absolutely right.

For those interested, here are additional photos of the flag I found today. It's nearly 6ft long...
