Hello all,
I thought it would be fun to see everyone’s favorite piece in their collection. This could be anything from the first thing you acquired that got you started down this path in the first place to a very rare collectible, or even a restoration you’re very proud of.
I’ll start... I was in the USAF, and my collection is focused there, although I have many other things. I’ve been obsessed with the AC-130 since I was 8 and bought a book called “The History Of Spooky”. I have pretty much everything fired from inside of that aircraft, but my favorite round in my collection is the “USAF Only” 105mm round from 1972.... the first year the 105 howitzer was jammed into a gunship. It has a matching ‘72 case and projectile with a ‘69 fuse. The OD paint is virtually perfect, as is the ink stamp
on the bottom. I love it!
