The Chosin Few November to December 1950, Korea. I'm not one of the Chosin Few but no more remarkable group of Americans ever existed.

Do you have any close up picks of the checkering? I'll second the request . . . . as I have the same concern regarding the coating process filling in checkered areas. That said, the McWoody's pictured here are awesome, but somewhat 'out of reach' for the time being. I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.
