You expect me to remember that much detail from 1972?
It might have been around 20 or 22 gauge, but of course in Germany it
was metric.
I had more fun forming sheet silver and brass into decorated spheres
in the well-supplied Army crafts shop.

Once I got wheels though I spent every spare hour exploring the
country.
