Switchblade knives became illegal in the USA when I was about 5 years old. If you've ever been a boy, you know that there is NOTHING that makes an object more desirable than making it illegal. In recent years the laws have relaxed to the point that they are now legal in most states. There is still a Federal law against them, but all that appears to mean is that you can't carry one on Federal property. You do, in most states, have to have a "Concealed Carry" permit in order to carry one of these, just as you would with a firearm.
I know the one on the far left is Italian, I bought it in Venice. Its blade is only an inch long, and it came attached to a keychain - but it is still very sharp, and because it's so small there is no room for a safety lock to prevent it firing off in your pocket. Think of it as a sort of home vasectomy kit. I don't carry it much.
Next one is a different design, this one has a torsion spring that positively drives the blade to its full open position rather than just kicking it out and counting on momentum to finish the job. Very nice little knife, actually, with a 2.5 inch blade.
The remaining three are the classic Italian design; two are actually marked "Italy" on the blade, but that might be taken with a grain of salt. The handles and mechanisms are all the same, but there are 3 variations on the blade: the black one has a 3 inch long semi-dagger style blade, with one edge sharpened and about half of the back edge symmetrically tapered but not sharp. The brown one in the middle has a single edge blade, similar to the one on the little keychain knife, almost 4 inches long in this case (and, oddly, with a thumbnail groove in the side); and the grey one at the far right has a 4 inch full-dagger style blade (though only the front edge is actually sharpened).
This is probably all of these that I'll feel I need. I have no particular use for them; even as weapons, I doubt that they would really be more effective than a conventional folding knife, since the actions required to release the safety are more cumbersome than unfolding a pocket knife (and the consequences of carrying them with the safety off I don't want to think about). But, like other esoteric mechanical devices, they are interesting, made much more so by a lifetime of unobtainability.
The first reference of the mill dates back to 1586, a new mill was built later on, which was the property of the Winternitz brotehrs. The mill buildings and silos are registered national technical listed buildings. The complex belongs to the top ten largest facilities of its type in the CR.
The IIId Automatic's successor, in mostly working order. Speeds below 1/30th are useless, but the light meter and guide needles both work as does everything else so not bad overall. Put on the Quinon lens i own, this came with another Westanar 50mm f/2.8 (i now have three).
I got lens spanner this week so i took apart two of the Westanars and cleaned the glass and fixed the stuck aperture blades, they work great now.
Now that i do own this i now have every King Regula interchange lens rangefinder, just need the lenses now :)

The first time I used it, I thought it was some kind of tap and, when nothing happened immediately, I took my hand away only to have it squirt soap into the sink.
Finally. It took long enough to get here, let alone win a legit complete auction.
I wanted a black dial and black bezel diver, and my main options were a 007 and a 173(007 w/round markers is asian market in both singapore and japanese movement, 173 w/square markers is north american and singapore movement). I could have chosen some other watches and swapped bezels, such as a 171 so I can have a poor mans marine master, but I like the flat and painted dials since they have a bit more of a military look than the classier raised ones.
I preferred the square markers, despite losing jdm movement. I won this domestically on ebay with box and paperwork from the original owner. Z22 strap had snapped though, so I have a new Z22, Jubilee, and nylon Seiko bund band on order from Singapore. I'll mostly have the zulu on, swap between bund/rubber, and steel for formal occasions.
I was planning on a complete MKII make over, but I decided all I'm gonna do is change the date wheel to one with Kanji, and use sword hands. Subtle changes that enthusiasts will still appreciate, while still being accessible to the general public. Yes, my watch will have quite a bit of an identity crisis, but so will my other wrist once I have my tattoo sorted out.

Last night I listened to my Cleveland Indians win Game 1 of the 2016 World Series on my trusty 1967 Telefunken Banjo Automatic.
This is a Benrus 14k gold mans self winding watch that I got at an estate sale. The price marked was $2.50, but since it was close to the end of the day, she sold it to me for 1/2 price. Yes, that's right, I paid $1.25 for a solid gold cased watch that was running when I bought it.
Today i spotted a pretty rare GranTurismo. An S Automatic variant. Basically a GranTurismo S, with the same engine, but with normal GranTurismo Features such as the Quad Exhaust system and the "Trident" inspired wheels, like this had.
I took this guy in to my local neighborhood camera repair shop. the people that work there are wizards and can pretty much do anything to fix most cameras. they fixed the battery terminal (one was really corroded), installed the 531 battery I brought in, made sure the shutter was working and sent me on my way. I tried taking two pictures, and they both came out completely black. there was only one click when I pressed the shutter button, so I took it back when I had more free time. now the #3 lever won't stay down and the #2 button doesn't do anything. they examined everything and told me there was nothing they could do. my heart hurts.

The display reads:
AAA Automatic Weapons Battalion (Mobile and Semi-Mobile)
The Mobile Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion was designed to be a self-sufficient tactical anti-aircraft unit that would defend key areas in close proximity to the front lines. Throughout World War II, Mobile Automatic Weapons Battalions became dual-role organizations, providing much needed fire support for advancing infantry and armor. The two major weapon systems used by Mobile and Semi-Mobile battalions were the M1 40mm Bofors Automatic Gun and the M51 Quad-.50 trailer. Both systems were effective both as anti-aircraft and ground support weapons.
The Semi-Mobile battalion was similar in organization and employed the same weapons systems, but had fewer vehicles to serve as prime movers for those systems. As a result, the Semi-Mobile Battalion became the static defense rear-area unit protecting high value targets like AAA Gun and Searchlight battalions.
While not as powerful as the 90mm anti-aircraft guns, the Bofors packed quite a punch. One hit from a high explosive round was usually more than enough to destroy an attacking enemy fighter. The Bofors had significant range as well, covering the gap between the limits of .50 caliber quad mounts and the optimal range for 90mm heavy guns.
By the Fall / Winter of 1944, in both the European and Pacific Theaters of Operations, many Semi-Mobile Battalions began to deactivate as the Allies pushed farther from rear areas and the enemy air threat dwindled. Many of those anti-aircraft soldiers quickly found themselves on the front lines with an M1 Rifle as infantry replacements.
One of those units was the 870 AAA (semi-mobile) (colored) Battalions who had provided short range air defense for Hawaii through late 1943 and 1944. In early 1945, the battalion departed for Okinawa. Upon their arrival, they turned in their 40mm and .50 caliber guns to be retrained as infantry. On 22 May, the battalion landed on Tokashiki Shima to conduct mop-up operations to eliminate and Japanese resistance. The Battalion’s first major operation jumped off on the morning of 24 June with B Battery’s 3rd Platoon under 1Lt. Robert Peagler, in the lead. Peagler led his men fearlessly, personally capturing an enemy mortar and killing its crew while leading the charge. Although Peagler was killed by a sniper’s bullet moments later, his courage inspired his men to seize the objective with incredible speed. For his actions, Lieutenant Peagler was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross.
The M1A2 37mm AA Gun was the standard medium anti-aircraft gun when the US entered World War II. Based on the Colt 37mm automatic gun, it performed well, and when coupled with twin water-cooled .50 caliber machine guns on the newer T1E3 mount, the system worked well in its intended role, but met with difficulties when pressed into the ground support role.
The M1 40mm Bofors AA Gun, just entering service at the beginning of World War II, was a far better dual-role weapon than its 37mm counterpart. The higher mount and better crew positions allowed for a far better sight picture and control of the weapon when used for ground support.
The other half of the Mobile and Semi-Mobile Automatic Weapons Battalions was the M51 Quad .50 Trailer. It utilized the same M45 turret that the M16 Halftrack used, but was mounted on a 2-Ton M17 Trailer with CCKW 2 1/2 Ton Truck as its prime mover.
For static defense missions like airfield defense, many semi-mobile battalions removed their M45 Turrets from the bulky 2-ton trailers and dug them in for better crew protection. This turret is one of the 779th AAA’s guns at a Marine airfield late in WWII.
The M5 gun director was the nerve center of the M1 Bofors Battery. A single director would allow all four guns in the battery to simultaneously lay on and track a single target, significantly improving the probability of destroying an incoming threat aircraft.
The standard Bofors gun crew included two gunners, a gun commander and four loaders. The Bofors had a maximum rate of fire of 120 rounds per minute, although the barrel would begin to overheat after roughly 70 rounds fired on full automatic.

By direction of the President, under the provisions of the Act of Congress approved 9 July 1918, the Distinguished Service Cross is posthumously awarded by the Commander in Chief, United States Forces, Pacific, to First Lieutenant Robert J. Peagler, O-1045552, Coast Artillery Corps, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action in the Southwest Pacific Area on 24 June 1945. During an attack against a high plateau near Tokashiki Shima, Kerama Retto, Ryukyu Island, flanked by two valleys and dominated by enemy-held commanding ground, Lieutenant Peagler, 870th Antiaircraft (Automatic Weapons) Battalion, skillfully led the assault platoon to a vantage point from which he sighted two Japanese pillboxes and a semicircle of emplacements covering the plateau and its approaches. After calling for machine gun fire on the Japanese emplacements, he directed sweeping Browning Automatic Rifle fire from a position overlooking the objective. When the automatic fire jammed, Lieutenant Peagler, without regard for his personal safety, charged forward through heavy machine gun fire, hurling hand grenades and firing his carbine into the nearest pillbox, killing six of the foes and capturing a grenade discharger before he was mortally wounded by sniper fire. Inspired by his gallantry, the platoon moved forward and seized the objective. By his aggressive fighting spirit and courageous leadership, Lieutenant Peagler set an outstanding example of heroism worthy of the highest traditions of the military service.
