She gave them to me because "She knew Red wanted me to have it!" :) Like mint off the shelf. A fine rememberance gift from a great old fighter pilot. In the case was a roll of ILFORD HPS 400, expiry date, "July 1957!" A roll of film 40 years old still in the orginal yellow and green box and the price marked, $1.20. Aaaaaaah them were the days for a good price! :) No I'm not going to try it, as it's well on it's way to being a museum item along with the camera. Besides I think it's more interesting to have it intact rather than using it. Makes for an interesting conversation piece. ted
