RE: Old

in Galenkp's Stufflast month

Enfield or Garand? Writing it before reading the rest :D

My first thought was Garand but I was wrong, damn.

I love old things like that - I’ve got a small number of things like the watch my wife’s grandfather would wear all the time and some others. There’s one old family heirloom that I really want to get my hands on but it’s likely I never will. My great great grandparents had an old grinding stone and wheel they would sharpen their tools on and it’s in my great aunts basement but she’s a nasty woman and we will likely never see that item as it will get auctioned off the second she kicks the bucket. There were so many memory items in that house that I’ll never get to see it’s sad. The last time I got to spend time there I think I was 13 and I remember that it was fascinating looking at some of that really old stuff.

Yeah, the close up shots make it difficult to tell, definitely an SMLE .303 though.

The old things link the past to the present and future I think, although so many people simply don't give a fuck which I think is sad and pathetic. We live in a selfish throw-away society these days and people act accordingly.
