A full size solid all metal Denix replica of the famed 1911 Colt M-1911 A1-67 Auto Loading Pistol from the U.S. With
working slide action and magazine black finished with chequered grips.
Cost £89 in early 2000's from Battleorders.com
The M1911 is a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, recoil-operated pistol chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge,which served as the standard-issue sidearm for the United States Armed Forces from 1911 to 1985. It was first used in later stages of the Philippine-American War, and was widely used in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.
Overall this is a very nice reproduction, well built, but cheap too, full working action, feels and looks just like the real thing.

Sandbags and how to use them properly for flood protection

•
This is a two-person job: one to hold the bag open
and one to fill.
•
Do not fill bags more than half full.
•
You don’t need to tie the end of the bag.
Placing the bags
•
Clear any debris from the area where the bags are
to be placed.
•
If you can, put a large sheet of heavy-duty plastic
between the sandbags and the wall of your house.
•
Place the bags lengthways, tucking the open end
under the filled half of the bag and position it
pointing into the direction of water flow.
•
Place bags in layers. Like a brick wall, make sure
that in the next layer each bag overlaps the one
below by half.
•
Stamp bags firmly into place to eliminate gaps and

A truncheon or baton (also called a cosh, Paddy wacker, billystick,
billy club, nightstick, sap, blackjack, stick) is essentially a stick of
less than arm's length, usually made of wood, plastic, or metal, and
carried by law-enforcement, corrections, security, and (less often)
military personnel for less lethal self-defense, as well as control and
to disperse combative and non-compliant subjects. A truncheon may be
used to strike, jab, block, and aid in the application of armlocks.
Truncheons are used to a lesser extent by non-officials because of their
easy concealment, and are outlawed in many jurisdictions.
