stealthytyler Posted May 28, 2015 Share #1 Posted May 28, 2015 Help identify unit and era please. The name of the soldier is R. Church. The outside of the cover has a stamp that reads "14 F". Under the flap there is a stamp that reads "S." Any ideas what all this means? Can anyone identify it? There is not date stamped on back. THANK!

Keystone Posted May 28, 2015 Share #2 Posted May 28, 2015 The cover is pre-WW1. The 14 is the regiment and the F is the company. The 8 refers to the soldiers number. So the cover was issued to the 14th regiment (Infantry or Cavalry), Company F, soldier number 8. Hope that helps. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help! Any way to find a list with his name on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keystone Posted May 28, 2015 Share #4 Posted May 28, 2015 Is the hatchet head marked "U.S."? The handle looks like it might be civilian. The cover is nice and the pre-war stuff usually goes for more than the WW1 issue gear. Tough to put a value on it. I would conservatively say $50 for the cover. The hatchet, if it is marked, might add another $20. Again, I'm trying to be conservative. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
