Fabuous, just fabulous...

Thank you sir. It has been 5-6 years since I last posted anything in this thread so in that time I was able to find a few more along the way. Wow, where did the time go?

Here's the first HS-9 established in 1956, somewhere around here I have the CVSG-60 hunter killer patch which goes with it
