Definitely tough buggers! I have an Aussie tree beater I swapped an SAS guy for a K-Bar (can't show here.) If I'd known what I know now, I'd have tried to swap my Hamilton military Mickey Mouse watch for whatever he was wearing. But... Probably wouldn't have worked, they were tough and smart!

Great collection, Jedly! Thanks, as always for posting those!

What I really need to find to add is military seadweller :-)
Some bank vault providers in the UK may be reconsidering their security after the Easter weekend. I am currently trying to get rid of my collection of Hilti drills !

As for my 5512 military, I just don't have time to be bored of anything at the moment. Never say never, I suppose.

Hoping a SPAG SeaDweller floats up on my beach at some point; I've just spread the collection over another tray and I've room for some variety....
