Safari/Bush jacket
The belted model might look cool, but based on my own expierences the belt is just someting extra to catch on things especially when moving through heavy cover.
Just my 2 cents.
It is late 1939 and you are somewhere in continetal europe.The fascists are quickly moving towarfds your locale and you need to get out fast. An air plane and automobile are out of the question and a train is very dicey. Thgis leaves you with your own two feet. So you grab your ever present bug...

Ariska
My dad has a 7.7 Ariska with the chrome lined bore that he bought for $10.00 back in the 50's.The stock has been "sportized" but all the metal work is original including the 2000 meter ladder rear sight with aa flip out wings.
And a good hatchet such as the Eswing roofing or dry wall model is very handy and will take and hold a razor edge.I should know I have the scars on my thigh from carrying in a tool belt to prove it.:eek:

I bought a fedora about ayear ago and it was supposed to be a 7 3/8 but fits more like a 7 1/8- 7 1/4.How difficult and expensive is it to have it stretched?
:rage: Went to local watering hole that bills itself as a retro speak easy.What a disapointment!Turned out to be a glorified sports bar.My wife and I did not even bother buying a drink.Of course after sitting there for 10 minutes and no service(it was not busy)I had the urge to call homeland...
