Does your helmet have the camo scheme on it? I really am digging the set up.

Yeah I figured I would do something barely anyone else does. I really like PTO stuff and it is very underdone. I just need a new sheath for my machete, M1A1 Folding stock, M1C helmet and an M8 scabbard for my knife and then it will be a 511th PIR.

Excellent as usual themango! A+ work there ;D ....and I'm bettin' the angle was to remove any modern-day stuff that may have been in the shot and ruined the illusion- Slainte! -G

actually the angle was to keep the sun out of the background as it was extremely sunny today so we got the photo at that angle to keep it in the shade. Although you can see my driveway a little bit in the upper right corner.
Thanks everyone for the comments!

82nd AB Medic Photos No insignia, I'm lazy, bite me. How is it "Stitch Knot-see" worthy then with no insigna, thats not what the real All Americans would have done.

Many times troops were told to remove the insignia in order to make a secret move......so it is authentic.....

Insignia was often removed so that the enemy could not determine what units were in a specific location. The Germans were given a similar order regarding cuff titles. So...with or without insignia is correct.

Hah, that's awesome! You're a regular old Blood and Guts! You look a little too cheerful to be surrounded by a bunch of ruskies, however. By the way, are those the airsoft revolvers in your holsters? Cool photo!

GET A HAIR CUT! ;D Your impression looked good. And you weren't bothering me so fear not. PS - My .357 Patton revolver is airsoft. The Colt SAA is the Franklin Mint GSP comemorative revolver.
