That Fighter Squadron 194 font is some of the coolest lettering I've seen on a PI buckle to date.  Thanks for sharing!

There's no reason it even has to be a military insignia.

There's a silver lining here, though.  Every so often a really good deal surfaces because someone didn't take the time to research the item, and put a price that is way below the value.  It takes time to search, but about once a month one can get a good deal off eBay by hitting the "Newly Listed" section and just happen to be the first person to see the offering.  As for the overpricing and gouging, that's just par for the course.

Elizabeth, You have some serious embroidery skills!  Very nice!

WWI ARMY Immunization Corps ?????  USING the letter E Caduceus ? E for Immunization ?   Does not make any sense If anyone has any information on this unusual Lettered Caduceus PLEASE post your findings  A recent Ebay Listing had the following attached letter E CADUCEUS listed as "WWI US Army Immunization Corps medical officer branch insignia pin pin-back" Since I have a WHITE Letter E Caduceus that I have not been able to pinpoint its usage, and then seeing this one listed I thought I would message the seller and hopefully get some leads as to its origin/usage But was informed they had NO supporting information,  Ebay screen capture MY E CADUCEUS

I think the weight would depend on the metal used. But in a casting the metal will shrink as it cools. Thus a cast wing will be smaller in dimension compared to a die struck wing

Excellent grouping! Well done!

I am going to be selling this sheath and was curious of its value in this condition. The leather is not in too bad a shape. It is still pliable and will accept a knife no problem. The staplers are breaking away however, though still attached barely.

If you are going to use ai you could at least be honest and admit that you did and that you don't actually know much about the item.
