Howdy all,
Sorry no pics just yet (I've got a crappy camera and pics of shiny metal don't turn out so well), but I've got what seems to be a g-series Gillette 3-piece (old style)--except that it says "Property of U.S. Army" and has no Gillette markings, but for the "PAT NOV 15:04" on the bottom of the barrel.
I know the J-series are WWI issue, but this seems to be a 1918 Army contract (or suchlike).
Any ideas or info would be appreciated.
It's in good shape BTW--cracked handle (of course) but not bad.
Thanks
