I BEEN LOOKING FOR A SWORD.IF THE PRICE IA $120.00 I'AM IN.

THE DIFFERENT NAMES FOR THE P-38 THAT I REMEMBER WERE :

#1. THE JOHN WAYNE

#2. THE CHURCH KEY

THAT WAS IN "65".

I SERVED IN VIET NAM FROM APR.65 TO APR.66. COMBAT PAY WAS 65.00 EXTRA. NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.BACK THEN YOU HAD TO QUALIFY FOR IT.YOU HAD TO BE UNDER ENEMY FIRE 6 DAYS OUT OF 30 TO QUALIFY.

THATS EXACTLY RIGHT ON GREENSIDE OUT. I FEEL THE SAME WAY.
AS A MATTER OF FACT I STILL HAVE MY UNIFORM STANDING TALL.
I JUST WISH I COULD FIT INTO IT.
