Rob,

"Heartless So&So, Vicious Trader, Rude Spammer" and so on and so forth......Humphhhhhh.....

All this flattery..sheesh...Stop....you are making me blush !
But, you will not get my POW(s) without a fight! Even.... if you drop Simundson's name.

Why you are exporting 2 container loads of house hold trash, used Toyota parts, flyswatters, 8 track tapes, stubbys and beaver traps... to help me with one simple tool is questionable?
Just what kind of a collector are you anyway??????

XOXOX
Bruce

Thumbs up Love you too Bruce!

Dear Mr Harrummmph!! Just so happened that my friend in NZ is working with a fellow who has quite a few carriers. And he and I decided to trade a pin punch for the manual copy. But to no avail....not a CDN piece, but still 2 punches just the same..... just down the road from Lynn Eades. I emailed Lynn this morning with some details.

The container thing is this: My friend has emigrated to NZ and I'm handling the container move from this end (Vancouver). One container is for house hold goods plus some military parts and the second container will be for military vehicles and parts. At this point, we're just doing a logistics reece, along with measurements etc etc. We talk at least once a week along with emails, so your punch was just part of the conversation. I'm still awaiting a couple of replies from other sources I've contacted. Love the challenge!

So put my name on one of those tins....the nicest one of course!

And for collecting, it's all over the board for whatever turns my crank. I own a 1944 C60L (formally Marc Montgomery's) and the last (and I can be corrected by any forum member) 1943 HUW ZL #68. Although I've been in touch with Kostas in Greece and we're comparing notes. I've got to post some pictures one of these days.

So that's it.....and the search goes on for the elusive pin punch. Still interested in the box of 36's? I've had a number of inquiries. Say Hi to Peter!! Robert

Default Bruce and Robert

I have received my NOS track pin punch from the U.K. and can report that it is not Canadian marked. It has the octagonal grip area and is marked "B 24125" I guess its a British one.
