2) I did state you misread the document. You presented the contract as proof of what exactly?
3) Our disagreement is whether, or not, the original snipers were issued 8-loop or 6-loop scope cases. I can, and have, produced photos of numerous (I have more) sniper scope cases, and all are 8-loop scope cases. You can't produce even one, even though you maintain hundreds were issued. Produce some examples. I have always maintained that nothing is written in stone when it comes to '03's. Until then, the weight of evidence is in favor of the 8-loop scope case. It is as simple as that.
4) There are a myriad of instances where paper military trails are flawed, or downright incorrect, or missing entirely. You don't want to go there. Actually, I hope someone does find the 8-loop paper trail. I don't do this for my benefit, I do it (argue my points) to keep people from establishing incorrect history. I do the same thing with Confederate history, but a hundred years of BS rewritten history has made that cause very difficult. I lucked into a time capsule of WWI Marine sniper history, thanks to a Marine at Camp LeJeune. Over 200 pages of who did what, why they did it, where they did it, and when they did it; complete with photos I have seen nowhere else. To date, nothing stated in those documents has been refuted by anyone. Sadly, those documents do not mention the origin of the scope cases, but the pictures depicting snipers, with scope cases, are all of 8-loop scope cases.
Keep looking.
