It's amazing what you'll find listed on Ebay when you widened your search parameters. YOU know what you're looking for. Some times the seller hasn't a clue. On one occasion I was the only bidder on a "gun barrel". Thanks to the pics, I recognized it was a WWII Winchester Garand barrel. On another occasion I picked up a virtually new Krag McKeever pouch - stamped Rock Island 1908 - State of Texas. It was listed as a "leather pouch". Again I was the only bidder. After the auction, the seller asked me "What is it?". Casting a wider net means you have to wade through the trash that you're not interested in, but you can find some real gems when you have the time to invest.
