Me too, me and mate went to a house contents sale, the folk were imigrating to oz. There was a few stairs leading down to the lower garden with two stone statues at the bottom, one either side of the stairs. I asked jokingly how much they wanted for the well painted white statues, a couple of quid the guy said. Well it goes without saying that I didn't buy them, but my mate did. He stripped the paint off by soaking them in solvent for a two weeks, he rang me one morning to go and have a look at the stripped statues. I couldn't believe my eyes, both the fuckers were bronze, I could have burst out crying So now if I'm in doubt, I ask about Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brigzy 1,298 Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 They were in with a job lot of brass scrap I bought. Fittings for '37 pattern webbing. Have the same ones on a ww2 gas mask bag that I carry my lamping battery in. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brigzy 1,298 Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Just checked my gas mask case; identical fittings; the two hook clips and the two larger "d" rings are on the neck strap, and the two smaller "d" rings are one either side of the bag. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
