US$268 just posted on TF Jenkins WWII http://www.treefrogtreasures.com/c-1853-world-war-ii.aspx Terry

Normally the price in $ is a bit more than the price in GBP. So at GBP255 the US price could be $280 - $290 Terry

I doubt the OOB would give that detail. My source of the info was Robert Hunnicutt whose very well researched and detailed books did for American AFVs what Jentz and Doyle Panzer Tracts did for German AFVs. And even Hunnicut did not list the Pershing's names or tank numbers. The only one I know...

It's possible that the number on the rear is 32nd and E 26 or 33rd B 26 Terry

There were only 16 Pershings that saw combat with the 3rd AD and they are listed above. The numbers on the rear of the tank should be 3^32 and E ??. I don't know of any other numbers that would make sense. If the right rear number as in your photo is B 36 it is not the Cologne tank as the only...

The tank registration number was 30119836 and is located high up on the front plate and the 3rd sideskirt on both sides of the tank. The tank was in the 3rd Armored Division, 32nd Armored Regiment and should have been visible under the bow machine gun as 3^32^. Make sure you use triangles in...

It is clearly a repaint. The unit insignia on the front and rear were not painted over and are still showing the original dark yellow base Terry

Unfortunately the Buffalo Soldier figures play right into a stereotype that most people would object to today. Here is an antique coin bank that probably wouldn't be manufactured today and certainly not under it's original title of N***r Bank. The figure of Buddy Archer AF023 is done much better...

There is no customs duty into Canada from the US. Of the $147 so called "Customs Fees", $71.29 is HST and the rest of about $75 is a brokerage fee charged by the courier company and is unnecessary as the item does not have to go through a customs broker. That is just a rip-off by the courier...

The old vehicles are something but my favourite item in the photo are the backlot buildings Terry

The K&C Tigers also have the correct slope Terry

It's a Jungle Gun Emplacement for Japanese Type 89 150 Cannon (J3220P). The original price was $89. That's probably what it's worthh. Terry

Pretty much true. The same basic vehicle. Make a few minor changes to the tools,, baggage, headlamp and it's not the same. Have a hatch open vs closed or change the camo colour slightly. The giveaway to a copy is where the copy contains the identical historical errors as the original...

Also, the AFV's are missing quite a bit of detail that is on the original and if I remember correctly, no weathering on the copies. Probably the same for the NAP figures. Terry

I can't tell from the photos on ebay. The only way to tell is to buy a figure on ebay and compare it to the genuine figure from your collection. The AFVs he is selling are clearly lower quality just from the photos Terry

Some of he 25 pdr and 17 pdr wheel rims have five tabs that are hook shaped. They must work much differently than the 6 pdr "T" tabs but I don't knnow how they work or even if the hook shaped tabs are on the inside of the wheel rims. Terry

The metal rings go over a "T" tab on both sides of the wheel and wrap around the tire. Terry

The drag rope for the 6 pdr airborne ends in a steel ring to which are attached two chains ending in steel rings.

To clarify. For the carriage of the 6 pdr airborne, there are six "T" shaped tabs on the outside rim of the wheel and six on the inside rim Terry

I remember they were called tabs. The proper drag rope for the 6 pdr had a hook which went into the eye at the centre of the wheel and with the drag rope hooked into the eye, the rope would be wrapped around the wheel via the tabs like the string on a yo-yo. A pull on the rope would rotate the...
