Gramp's Star B
 

Just thought I'd post a few pics of Gramps Star B. Gramps was a half-track crewman in the 31st Tank Bn. 7th Amd Div. he was at fun places like St. Vith. Anyhoo, here is one of his souvenirs. It is accurate as heck, and I can make pop cans dance at 50 paces. Pretty holster worn. The holster has an interesting period repair. Oh, and there is more than one gun with this serial #, as the police paid him a visit once. Seems 'his gun' was used in a shooting, and he was requested to produce it.

Great pics thanks for sharing

Great bring back!


When I visited St Vith, it was a bit calmer. BTW, my great uncle was in the St. Vith area during the Bulge too.
