LOL.. That was an unusual thing to say the least. Heck, everything I got yesterday except the carcano, the war cross, and the shotgun but came from a couple flea markets. The rest was 3 antique stores.. The deals are there too. The pair of DI's, the 709th one, and the caterpiller club pin were $1. Heck, I got the carcano for $60. The whole duffle of Nam USAF crap was $10. It's out there. Even the free stuff..I got a Korea made and decorated flight jacket at the same flea market last year for free..Got some stuff from a co worker too..Just keep your eyes open.
