I went to a favourite little art gallery to view some very dark Italian masterpieces today,I took my cadet with me.

On the way back I went to the market and bought my original design corp cap badge from the formation in WW2,A lovely vintage first class claw hammer and this absolutely massive Sheffield penknife.😁






















Some history for those who maybe interested.

This is the cap badge of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, made of brass with a King’s crown and a wreath with initial letters R.E.M.E

  • Prior to WWII, the repair of equipment in the army fell to the individual soldier and to the Ordnance Corps
  • In the early years of WWII it soon became clear that the technical manpower needed to repair the enormous amount of equipment in each theatre of war was woefully lacking.
  • The R.E.M.E was formed on 1st October 1942, it operated on the front line in every major theatre of operations, it was an indispensable combat corps
  • It formed mobile repair workshops that operated in the field on the continent. Follow the link to learn more about the role of the R.E.M.E in WWII



 
That looks like such a fun knife Ed. Did the box come with a “batteries not included” sticker? 🤣🤣🤣
Best thing about the holidays is catching up with family.
That’s what I like best about Thanksgiving, it’s all about family, sadly they had to head back early.
I’m enjoying my new white owl also! Really handy little knife!
It is for sure. I got mine Tuesday. It’s “Safe Queen” days are over! 🤣🤣🤣97E4A542-3B39-40AD-AA7E-EFD1B7208EA9.jpeg
 
Zippo Mini Trapper arrived today and I was both surprised and pleased to see the build date on the box label is the same as my birthday this year !!!
So I think this one was just meant to be :)
