I have a complete surplus set of garand cloth bandoleer, and 6 garand clips with matching inscribed cardboard retainers. This was taken from a sealed Greek army surplus garand ammo can, manufactured in 1970. It could be a good prop or just an addition to your collection. I can sell it on ebay but I thought I'd check in here first in case anyone's interested. Is this legal to mail to HK or Phil.? Shipping to the Philippines or Hongkong is $8.44. (10 ounces, according to USPS website), and looking to get $17 for it inclusive of the postage. The garand clips are usually $1 apiece and the cloth bandoleer around $7 by themselves. I sold a set like this on ebay a few months ago for $21+shipping so if no one is interested I can always sell it there too. I just thought I'd give you guys first dibs on it. Send PM if interested. Thanks.   |

Hi Vic! I would like to take all of it but the problem is bringing it in especially with the coming election and the gun ban to be imposed next month. A balikbayan box perhaps.
Jnmodeller, If you can bring it in, can you spare one set for me?

Will Philippine customs allow this in without a permit from the FED?
On the way to Battery Morrison, by Morrison Ravine on Corregidor Island, there is an area where we were able to find several of these Garand charger clips, a lot with rounds still in them. The area was also littered with beer bottles. OT: We also found a US "dogtag" in the same area. It was a "newer" style US dogtag, similar in style and shape to the ones still in use today. In the Corregidor Museum several "older" type dogtags can be seen (I don't know if the older ones can still be called "dogtags", they look more like identity discs).

Sad isn't it? They're just metal clips. Any metal worker in the Philippines could probably hammer the exact thing.
Darktide, do those dogtags have legible names on them? I know someone who found a US airborne dogtag from a recently cleared area and was able to track down the family of that trooper.

I know someone who found a US airborne dogtag from a recently cleared area and was able to track down the family of that trooper. It's just one dogtag... Yes, it's in pretty good shape and the name is indeed legible. Kouis Hix Ft. Hamilton, NY The dogtag was found by my friend, so it's with him. I don't have the series of numbers of the serial number, but I already asked my friend to send it to me. The name of Kouis Hix's wife, Elizabeth, is also on the dogtag. Here's the kicker... My friend has one dogtag, the other one of the pair with the same name and information is on display at the Corregidor Museum. You should see the area where we found the dogtag... It was just an open area bordered by trees. There was so much stuff! |
