What did you buy today?

Salinger, eh? That's a new one on me - but she(?) looks a really attractive dog indeed.................Funny how Springers seem to be the new favourite for outcrossing these days; but then they are god's canine gift to the world, eh? ....................... Great picture, Mesquite!
Postie dropped off one of these today, really light and easily compress to the size of an orange. It is very well made too. http://www.uniqlo.com/uk/store/goods/079120
just call me Dora...
this do you?
Its a 1943 Mk III. The bubble in it has got so big that it needs sorting, I guess it will cost some. I used it a lot in the 1980s when I was doing a lot of walking on the moors where it really helped being able to take seriously accurate bearings. I've also got the lads great grandads WWI prismatic.

Ps
Found some interesting info on refilling a prismatic on the Milsurps forum.
Oh yeah, hope Toddy excuses this comment but that's a proper mans compass! I like compasses, was taught to use at an early age. When working and making maps I used one like yours and one of this style too, again very accurate.

Cheers... she was the outcome of opportunity whilst the owner was ill, no planning or anything.
The father was a saluki and he had his way with not only the springer mum but a whippet bitch at the same time. The owner had, at one stage, 27 dogs in her house not to mention all the cats as well
i used to to have a springer collie cross. Totally mental. Passed away in June.
Hoping Aspen will be less nuts so she can be a course hound and canoe mutt.
Aye Suunto did them in the same casing. Mine can have a tritium source screwed in to use in dark woodlands... which was part of the job. Beautifully engineered.
Vintage Ripringllies paraffin heater - very warm & works well.

Tickets to tonight's hockey game for me and Barbara. Final score Knoxville Ice Bears 4---Pensacola Ice Flyers 3; we lost in overtime
It was yesterday, but some German BDU trousers for a tenner. Re-threaded the ankle cuffs with shock cord for pence and good to go. Very comfortable.
We hit the local carboot while it was bright and frosty and picked up these from the surplus tool man
From the top a big unissued Sheffield made filing block. I know what I will use it for but what were they supposed to be used for, out of interest? £5
panel beating hammer, also unused but with surface rust to remove. Only marking is "MYERS" in the side of the head. Anyone know what country of origin. £1.50
ignore the brass pliery things, those are the wifes to ebay,
Next down a 5 foot Rabone folding ruler £1.50, some scratches from being dumped in with other tools but again unused straight from stores
Then a pair of Humpreys Sheffield scissors 50p and 4 beach and brass tool handles, 50p each.
Then some unissued Elliot Lucas pliers £1 and at the far side a 10 metre Rabone Chesterman refil tape £1.50. he also had some refils for 3m steel tapes, will get next time if not gone.
A 5/8 inch Priory punch, 50p, some rust and cosmolene to remove but not on the cutting edge so no biggy. Opposite a couple of sizes of steel drift, arrow marked straight from the box (had lots but just two sizes) 50p a pop and perhaps best of all for the princely sum of 50p a unused adapter to make any standard sized brace bit into a scotch eye auger. There was a auger bit to go with, snided in cosmolene but since I already have lots and I was by this point scrounging change from the kids I thought I'd leave it until next time. It made me a very happy bear any road

the brass plier thingies are ww2 era linking/delinking tools for .303 browning MGs.....RSI eat your heart out.
Indeedy, herself will be taking me back to the carboot next week to see what else the guy has. I don't normally do RAF stuff so a friend in NZ is sorting me out some info on Air Ministry stores codes, for all i know what I was fondling on Sunday may have been for 20mm cannon.
