hello,
NBC members I'm on a 'cap in hand' appeal.. :innocent: I'm looking for a 'donation' of a different kind. Do any of you have a spare original British Issue Ration Pack can opener with folding bite blade (spare) I could have? I'm looking for such as I hit on the idea through Bushcraft, TGO, etc.. someone's always looking for these & to think the amount of these I've given away over the years during my Service. A couple I had remaining of these originals I was offered a fair price on such. I was more apt to give such away, but recently as a fund raiser I thought, if I could sell these proceeds go to 'Help For Heroes.' I don't have a budget to purchase such so I'm tongue in cheek (cheek being the appropriate word) :ashamed: asking around for a free GAW gifted as long as they're in good condition still usable, I can clean them up & sell them on. I was given a box of freebies copies of the US P-51 (cloned) via a surplus dealer in Glasgow as they were gathering dust in the store, some were unusable easily bendable but they went for a good cause. I was offered by Highlander equipment (Livingston/Edinburgh) P-51 copies their brand at cost price if needs be. I was sent a couple of packets gratis of the Highlander FRED can openers by another surplus dealer, to which I'm grateful for. I'm looking for British C-Rats can openers with serial number, dated, & crows foot marking as I can get a good price on these. I've asked the Ministry of Defence UK direct as to find if they have any in storage I could have also, awaiting a reply. So.. in the meantime, no offence given or taken, but if anyone has an original they could let me have I would be grateful PM me with details. All proceeds from sales go to Help For Heroes. Image my 1986 British can opener as example.
Regards
