A WW2 dated set consisting of 5 78rpm record with "Songs of the Service" recorded by the Victor Band.
The guy who's selling them also offers the service or recording songs on old records on CDs.

Just arrived from Anthony, an Officers feldmutze with insignia, and, from Ebay, an original gas cape bag and K98 bayonet frog.




When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!

My Certo Super Dollina camera arrived today. Early serial number for this type, so it's probably from 1938 and the Lens is from 1937.
