Great Sight. I have a Circa 1910 Cased Model 1903 Browning semi automatic. Identical to the one on this sight. Can anyone tell me what it is valued at? It is in outstanding condition. Fires great.

I hope someone can assist. My Grandfather has a pin badge which is coin-like in appearance. I understand that it was given to German women as a reward for having large families (same basis as The Women's Cross). This badge however, has no ribbon, it is worn with age. From the condition it is visible that the Nazi cross and eagle are at the bottom of the badge, with a little boy with his arms stretched, one hand holding a twig of leaves. There is a number to the right which appears to be 1057. The back face of the badge reads, "hurnlein gmund" and I cannot obtain a translation of this. I promised to look into this for him but am not having the success as I thought via the web (women's cross the only reference I can get). Anyone ideas what this badge is or any sites which detail? He has had it since being a boy. Thanks!

The Payne Compound at Tam Ky was not named for the Australian VC recipient but rather Captain Lloyd Payne, US Army killed in action 15 December 1963. The camp was named on MACV General Orders Number 8 dated 20 January 1964. I have a photo of General Timmes CO MAAG Vietnam in front of the plaque named in Captain Lloyd Payne's honor which appeared in my book Vietnam Military Lore - Legends, Shadows and Heroes - Thought you'd want to know.
With Deep Respect,

My family farmed (and still does) the land used for the Sutton Mandeville camp. Still now after 100 years remains are still evident of the camp, Some huts still remain and the land is covered in pits where after the war everything was burried. Sadly the two badges on Sutton down are fast disappearing. It is belived our farm building were used for the officers mess and the remainds of a tennis court can still be seen!
