    Probably from the 50's or earlier, and may be a GH3153 (military model). Go to "Liberated Manuals" site and you can download a free manual to find out.

    By all means POST PICS !!
    After all it's 2012.......... I think they even make tennis-shoes and wallets
    with cameras imbedded................


    In the beginning, the Earth was without form, and void.
    When one picks up some wood or metal or stone and shapes it into something usefull
    ... I beleive that it has to be a deliberate effort to disavow a creator.

    As you work these, and join them, you feel the force and the will of He
    who formed and shaped the very resorces that you now add your will and force to.
    Further one surely can know when your will and force is not aligned with His.
