      USSTAF patch with part of wing missing

      By Stefen · Posted

      Sorry new to this website so I might have posted this already  I have a WW2 Ike jacket with the USSTAF patch on it. Top part of the wing is missing on the right side. It wasn’t removed just never there. Does this have any meaning?? Or defective patch, that would be odd?

      . Hi Johan,   Thanks for the ' like ' on the usage of the damaged duffle bag on my rear cushion.  I had just enough canvas to cover the seat pad as I doubt mine would have lasted out the next couple of months over the anniversary period.  There is a repaired hole in the surface of the canvas which is evident when looking at the seat.  My pad is a little thicker than the reproduction pads now available, as I don't have much padding on my backside then a thicker pad is more comfortable when driving a couple of hundred kilometres.       Norman D. Landing, Forum Normandy Correspondent,   April 25  2024.   ...

      Milsco M6 scabbard up for review

      By Injunben · Posted

      Hey guys do y’all see any red flags with this scabbard? I think it’s good but I’m still learning. I posted it on a Facebook group and most said it was ok but one guy had concerns with the leather on the back of the scabbard. Said it “looked like the incorrect type of leather” so that’s my main concern. The first picture is the one he commented on. As y’all know, these scabbards aren’t cheap so I like to make absolutely sure of their authenticity. Thanks for any help!!

      was it common for troops to get issued the m1917 bolo with an older m1910 sheath?

      By LE LOUP DES MERS · Posted

      If anyone is interested, I'd like to get the correct sheath so I'd be willing to trade my m1910 sheath for a m1917. I'll make a post in the trade section too.

      That's what I'm thinking, it was probably a recent thing a collector did. But that being said some soldiers where getting issued WW1/WW2 gear in Vietnam so I guess anything is possible. I remember talking to a marine vet and he said/claimed the metal canteen cup he was issued in 67 had 1918 on the bottom.
