Beautiful rifle. The Lucky Strikes and wheat pennies are a nice touch. |

Side note: Wonder were he found the steel pennies. Oh, I've got a bunch but I've had them longer than some of the guys have been alive. Also, in 1941 the Luckies would still been in a green pack. As late as the mid-1950s a green pack of 4 cigs would show up in an old pack of C-rations. And, yes, I smoked them. |

In high school I smoked either Camels or Luckies at 11 cents a pack. I carried a pack of Wings in my shirt pocket for the bummers and mine in my socks on ROTC days and in my boots when I wore jeans. Bobby Johnson switched me to Pall Malls. Man, she had me wrapped around her little finger.

I actually started smoking with C-rat cigarettes. During SERE I was pretty sick and couldn't keep any food down. We had all started with one issued C-rat, and I ended up giving everything except the liquids to other guys. In exchange they tossed me their little cigarette packs. "What the hell?" I thought. I ended up with a fifteen year habit that was very hard to kick. |
