    We were at the Mother in laws home a few days back and going through stuff that was left. I found a bunch of stuff in a box. The switch blade says Mzzuto Estileto Milano on it. Ammunition is a whole bunch of 30-06, 30-40 Kraig which I have one, 32 Winchester (don't have one) 30 Remington (don't have one) a whole bunch of old 22, some even from the old Coast to Coast stores. 4 old scopes (no good) shot gun shells, and an old sea rations box with very old chocolate, Carmel, water purification, short wood matches, aspirin that is now no good, and says the flask can be used for water or other spirits. Old pistol cleaning rods in a short aluminum container and a rifle cleaner in a canvas bag. Plus other misc stuff for guns.
    All was in a cardboard box tucked away in the old basement.

    That;'s cool, if you have a 22 I bet that ammo is still good.

    Those C ration packages might be worth some money... In the original packages.

    I have a switch blade that looks like that...Got it back in 72...Carried it home on the plane in my pocket...LOL...Is the 32 Winchester a lever action rifle? My mother had one back in the 40's...Shot her first deer with it...Great looking gun...I don't know if I would trust those old shotgun shells...Especially if they are the old paper casings...Remember those days?

    Cool stuff! How long is the switchblade? I had one once that opened up to nearly 12" counting the handle.
