A Modern One   Troops of the 67th Signal Battalion form up a a Living BOS. At Fort Gordon Georgia I believe.

I just saw this on eBay (Photos 1 & 2) and kind of a late warning as there is a little less than an hour to go but this paratrooper wing is in my opinion a US paratrooper wing produced in Thailand and not a WW2 era piece.   It s not British or Aussie nor is the pin back design Chinese or Indian.  Yes it is theater made but kind of cheaply made without much age to it and I'm wondering if these were ever worn by US personnel.  The ones that I remember produced during the Vietnam War have a different look to them (Photos 3 & 4).  However Thailand produced a lot of copies of most everything so who knows.  I found a photograph of another one minus the finish (Photo 5 & 6).  The bidding is up to $67 with 15 bids.      https://www.ebay.com/itm/157979066638?_skw=jump+wing&itmmeta=01KV454K0BTDPDFNE4JADV43EX&hash=item24c849410e:g:J14AAeSwwC5qJeN5&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAAwGfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xAbSPUKOG%2Bt0s6jGHbRK8k0wCBXJV9I50MKxjKCK0VPl49KlFqUfwpukrUZjhwbpoy%2Fttp5yxHe120u%2F5wwQkX1YAQVC2hH3StK5%2FE4jgJk4ocQl6NMVrozFeaBsiG7ZrHVg1aqn08Q6TyEeTXv95zlESf9nxqQJl1RKRR1ggx2Ry%2BNfSJHfIZ%2FL%2BQCwV1HIS28EVvLpkzqK6m%2B0agUZ5Sd97mNdApgd--4d414zxkFEg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7iwkoXZZw    

Vintage,   Without seeing the full jacket nor the size of the actual "C" it looks like an outerwear jacket or coat.  I believe the "C" stands for "CONVICT".  A great deal of WWI era surplus material was purchased by county, state and smaller prison systems for use by their inmates.  I think this would be a work wear jacket for a "roadside crew" to identify them as a Convict so the general public would know that they were on a work detail back when physical labor was part of the punishment for their crimes.  These were "good behavior" inmates or "trustees.  I once saw a gaylord full of WWI era jackets with "C" on the front and back in the 70's.  The "C" on the back was around 10-12 inches in height and the front around 4-6".  They were from a Georgia prison system.     Not saying I am right but hope this helps.   OD  

Always love these types of "bring backs" as it shows an excellent tale of history. I particularly love the Nambu. 

Also, the red portion of the ribbon on a #’d GCM will have a very faint “orange hue.”  Very noticeable when you place a #’d GCM and a standard GCM side/by-side.  

Haha, perhaps. It's in good hands now, I promise to the supply managers and Uncle Sam. Thanks. 😄

Well, here's whose name show up in morning reports with that number:  

I'm confident I've found your candidate. Google Virginia Militia shoulder plate, James S Smith. The missing loops on reverse match up perfectly. If link doesn't work check out Virginia Relics. Borrowed a couple image from their site. I'll take them down if not appropriate... https://www.virginiarelics.com/brands/virginia-relics/product/virginia-militia-shoulder-belt-plate-marked-smith/

Ok, definite WW2, USN. The patch was added, post war, over the actual rating badges if you feel inside the sleeve, you might be able to determine what rate he was. 

This reminds me of medals that were made in the 1920’s by NS Meyer company to sell as replacements yo veterans.
