    Wearing a Homburg

    Looks grand on you Tony. I always steam the brims on mine and dip the front and rear a little. It gives the Homburg that little something extra. I shape my Derbys the same way. Try it ya might like the style.

    Personal Heat

    M79 Clevispin, we Marines called it a Blooper because of the sound it made when fired. It was a single shot that fired HE, Buckshot, and Gas. I think the Army called it the same thing. You used the words "in Country" tells me you may already know something about it?

    Personal Heat

    Browning / Colt My off duty weapons are a 45 cal. Colt 1911 made in 1917 or sometimes carry a Browning Hi-Power 9mm. I carried a M-79 and a 45 cal. Colt 1911A1 in Vietnam and I can tell you they just don't make em any better the 1911 but I from the Old Corps.
