Nice diagram. Now I'll have to make it a point to find a larger-sized picture without those watermarks on it!

It should be easy to get rid of the marks but for the size, that's another story... :roll:

kman,

Thanks for that link. I still have one I got out of a case of C rations in basic over 30 years ago. It is still in the wrapper in a box at home. I, also, have one that resides on my keyring. It goes everyplace with me. There are a lot of good stories on the web site about P38s. I'm going to have to read more of them when I get time.
