USAAF airbase - Quick dig at the dump. April 2012
Article about: HI all I had a spare couple of hours so went and had a dig about at the USAAF dump I've visited on previous occasions. I wasn't there long but did have some interesting and intriguing finds.

Steve, I've also found the bits of brass that are inside your stock shaped bit of wood just im missing the wooden part ! I came across quite slot of them in a heap and posted them but didn't really get much of a reply I've got all my bits crossed that someone may ID it better from your photos.
Try adding heat to get that .50 open it might just have some crud that needs loosening.
Andy.

I dont think that its a stock, i think its the box to carry this object in, and i'm thinking its some form of guage

The "US mess tin cutlery handle. US on this side...." is a mess kit knife handle. There was two types, one piece stamped metal version and yours with a black handle. The knife was the only piece to have this black handle.
Nice one Steve

Thanks DM
Got two now from this dump and a metal one
I find that the black ones are very easy to find but the metal ones are usely rare to find on digs just like spoons are easy to find and forks are not.
