Stuff so far. 1969 ERDL green predom size medium-regular coat,1950 side cap,TL-122B flashlight,M-N ammo on clips. Rich A. in Pa.

Nice light I believe the tl-122 B version had issues with the plastic melting and smelling? I wouldnt mind finding a tl-122a, I have a D but they are pretty late/post war if I remember right?

[rra227]

Yes. The B is the one with smell and texture trouble. The A's are nice. I have 5-6 of them. The D is like Korea era. Rich A. in Pa.

I imagine your house looks like a 50s surplus store by now...
Great finds flea markets start in my area this weekend so hopefully I can catch a few deals, I am going to start going at 7 am to make sure I get first chance

0700? Be there at 0500 at least. Roll out of your rack at 0400 and go. If you are serious. Soon it will be time to be there at 0430. Bring a flashlight. Please remember that the dealers that are there are looking for stock to resell later. In addition to other buyers looking for stuff. Go early. Rich A. in Pa.

Ok I dont know if many will be there but I will at 5 now, dont want to miss out on opening day!!! I usually only get up for work or hunting that early.

Find out when the market opens for vendor set up. Go then. I have people that have me help them empty their trucks. I get first choice on anything. Besides have them give me stuff for free and my prices on stuff that I want. Rich A. in Pa.
