Colin Macgregor Stevens is researching Canadian military vehicles and their
markings. seaforth72 (at) gmail.com
Wanting the following items is one thing, being able to afford them is
another! This wish list is not complete of course.
I am focusing on militaria used by members of my family, but also have
special interest in jeeps, the Welbike, BSA folding airborne bicycles, vehicle markings
(flags, decals/transfers, stencils, manuals/orders), as well as WWII Canadian and British
military sniping.
