Doubt it FG, I need it for my VFC B.A.R.. It's a nice belt, you usually see a lot more wear and tear on B.A.R. belts because they held 10-12 magazines at approx 1.5lb ea. but this one seems like it's been taken care of. I can't get one anywhere near that price/condition if I tried to again.

I got more Medical Gear today! Yay! Medic you may want to preview your pictures before posting, they're pretty blurry. When doing close up shots like that, check to see if your camera has a macro mode. If not, try turning off auto focus and setting the focus yourself. A solid color background will help the camera focus better as well. Lastly, if your camera is really high-res, you don't even need to zoom in so much as most basic camera applications will let you crop and zoom into a high-res pic after you've taken it. Not to dampen your enthusiasm, but non-blurry pictures are something we can all enjoy...

I just bought a Philadelphia QM Officers tent dated 1942. It is a great size. It is roughly 10 by 10 and has three foot walls leading up to a peaked roof. It needs two 7 foot center poles and six three foot outer poles. It will work great for displays and as comfortable sleeping quaters for two with adequate room for a desk and chairs as well. Great field office. It is considerably lighter then a GP Small and will make a great HQ tent. Here are some pictures of this type of tent (in the background) I was very fortunate to find it and essentially bought it off the street. Guy saw my Jeep and thought I might be interested in it. I'm embarrassed by how little I paid for it. He described it as a pup tent.

The Officers tent is often referred to as a wall tent and served numerous purposes. It will soldier on at Jump to Destiny assuming I'm able to fabricate poles and a cross bean for it which shouldn't be too hard. Those pictures were indeed from the KCTS event. My tent is identical to the Friends of Willie n Joe display tent. It's so funny because at the time I mentioned to them that I'd love to get my hands on exactly that style of tent. It's a great size and the canvas only weighs about 35 pounds so unlike a GP small or a pyramid tent it is quite manageable by one person. I spread it all out today and it is virtually brand new. The ropes and tighteners appear to have never been exposed to the light of day. It's really in great shape.

Sorry, that's just how all pics on that camera come out, it doesn't matter how good you are with camcorders (I am pretty good)
