Yo that was a great video man that’s an item I knew little about but I’ve seen before. It’s good you make detailed videos on these little obscure items but have a real importance. Love the content man keep em rolling

I've got a few p 38s I know are WW2 because they are on a GIs key chain along with his foot locker key and other stuff.

[@jwspeakermre5968]

So I did a little bit more research and it looks like the androck P-38 can opener was made by the Washburn company all the photos I've seen of the WW2 dated Washburns in there original paper wrapper are stamped ( U.S. AndRock ) on the can opener. The reason why they're stamped And Rock is because the Washburn company is located in Rockford Illinois.

Good job buddy hope to see ya soon

[@jwspeakermre5968]

Awesome informational video about the P-38 but you forgot one company the Washburn co. they also made P38 during World War II. I collect P-38 can openers I have about seven or eight from the 60s still in its original wrapper.

You know that is where I was having an issue because they kept referencing Washburn as an over arcing company for one that was named...I don't have my notes but I will look it up and let you know...it was a bit confusing...something like Androck was a subsidiary of Washburn.

Another great video my friend, do you by chance have any plans on coming up for the Northwest militaria show on June 22-23rd? Its one of largest in the country (not the show of shows but there is supposed to be over 100 vendors), if so we should meet up, Rootbeer1234980 and I are going together we go to the same Highschool and have know each other for around 6 years now, and some of my other friends are going as well. I know its far from you but it would be cool to meet up!

I purchased 50 new P38 made by US Shelby. some have locks that don't work

[@vicpetrishak7705]

The rib is a sheet metal strengthener . 12/22

[@TonyM540]

I’m guessing that the locking design will wear out after some use, I’d say it could be nasty if that happened in your pocket !
