Frank, is the long gun rack photograph taken at the 22nd SAS base Hereford, UK? Just a guess based on the Hereford cow pattern on the rack.
Thanks for posting the photographs.
I expect the US RUSCO 1942 marked 5 cell pouch was formerly an unmarked WW2 five cell pouch that came back with the Russian/Ukraine Thompson parts kits and cleaning rods.
Marked US pouches have higher asking prices, marked pouches have turned into a buyer beware category unfortunately.
Since they were originally sourced for the USMC, I bought one for my USMC 1928 Shipping chest before they were sold out. The number of my spare parts tin is 412. If Gordon's relative is sending them out in numerical order should be around 78 left. I picked up a long cleaning rod for my USMC chest as well.
Cook County Sheriff's Police. That is confusing. Is it the Cook County Sheriff or the Cook County Police?
County Sheriff Departments usually do not refer to themselves as Police but rather as Sheriff or Deputy Sheriff.

Snooze you lose, I called Russ today and found out I was the third person that had contacted him regarding the AOC V marked magazine. The first person traded for it.
