Re: Question about your name | ||

My first milsurp was a No 5 Enfield purchased in 1965. When I served in the Army we were attached to the 1st Australian Task Force and I got interested in the "diggers", so I just combined my two interests. I have six Lithgows and collect as much D^D marked webgear that I can find.

derKessel |
Re: Question about your name | ||
|
My favorite milsurps (in this order) are k98 Mausers and 91/30 Mosins, so I wanted something Germanic which had something to do with the "Great Patriotic War," besides, all the really good German-related handles have been taken. So, after a great deal of thinking and soul-searching (approx. 1.5 seconds), I came up with derKessel.
FYI, "der Kessel" (the cauldron), was the nickname given by the German 6th Army to the area they were trapped in by the Red Army, just west of Stalingrad. Or, as Nikita Khrushchev (Bob Hoskins) said in the movie "Enemy at the Gates," "The Germans are shitting their trousers!" He said it twice IIRC. |

Cold Steel Man |
Re: Question about your name | ||
|
My name comes from my daily use & constant carry of Cold Steel knives. When I went to sniper school I took a Cold Steel Recon Tanto with me. When a Ranger buddy of mine went to Afghanistan I sent it with him; it took care of me and it took care of him. It never let either of us down when we needed it. Cold Steel knives are part of my everyday personal carry, my bugout bag, and my hurricane kit (I live on the Gulf Coast). I use 'em and believe in 'em. Every friend I have let carry my Voyager has gone out and bought his own. Every one. They are that good. I have bet my life on them and I bet my family's life on them, too.
Of course, my .45 is usually alot closer to my hand ... NRA Life Member

Re: Question about your name | ||

My name was originally taken from a bottle of whiskey. +A little over 10 years ago I was making up my first online identity. I couldnt think of anything that fit until I reached for a drink and saw the name on the bottle. I could only use 8 characters and had to shorten 'Rebel Yell'
I've stuck with it over the years because it fits my heritage, historical/political beliefs and other activities, primarily with the League of the South. ![]() My orders from General Lee is to hold the Masie Dixie line... |

It's a joke between a friend and I. We were playing a game online, I think it was Halo2 and I was doing extremely well, then out of nowhere he said
"Fanta Christ". It stuck for whatever reason and now I use it whenever I can't think of anything better. Fanta is part of my last name Fantauzzo.

I think the broomhandle mauser to be a great pistol One of the great variants having a big nine carved into each grip and filled with red paint, which was to
signify the use of 9mm Luger instead of 7.63 Mauser

I wish I had a Broomhandle with a red 9 on the grips. A regular 7.63 caliber Broomhandle would be nice too, but both have eluded me in my collecting thus far.

I was when I started here "In The Ten Ring"....from that gun guy show on that Outdoors Channel. "Keep 'em in the ten ring" he
closes with. Then the site blocked me somehow and I needed something else.
