    The canteen carrier is most likely Canadian, with the front closure as used previously on the P08 and P19 webbing. Officially it was adopted again in 1942, so if yours is dated 1941 it's either a really early one or maybe from a British manufacturer that for whatever reason used the older pattern. British webbing is a world on its own 😊 What are the markings of helmet shell and liner?
  3. Following the identification of some of the bodies shown in this video, and the start of the war in Ukraine, I have made an updated version of this video:
  4. Thanks, this sort of information is extremely interesting, useful and something you just can't find in books! :)
  5. The carburettor looks to be a Solex? The engine might be a standard light truck engine, maybe from Dodge so you could see if there are any casted partsnumbers on it. Have a look around on https://forums.g503.com if you haven't already.
  6. Thanks gents, appreciate the feedback. Interesting that there are no known reproductions of Blue Anchor, is that down to demand in the collector community?

    Ridgeway cap

    I do love the style of these caps. In a recent trip to Portland I found two in the same shop. Paid up just a little , but when you like something ... The LT cap had been "crushed" and it takes some wadded up newspaper to make it stand up. Both are from the Louisville Cap Company.

    CS button

    I don’t think it is a Civil War period military button. Possibly a civilian flat button but I think it is later.

    Obscure items using Alice Clips or Wire Hooks

    I don't remember the NSNs for these USFS Canteen cover USFS Yellow fire shelter pouch USFS Weather Kit You can also check out this web site http://inrd.gotdns.com/alice/index.htm
  12. Yes. Most believe 1950s. Possibly German made. The 48th had a scroll from the 40s but don’t believe the 49th ever did (or at least I have never seen one).
  13. Nothing curious on this one, yes, the 77th Division Windmill for the division's 152nd Field Artillery Brigade.
  14. HERNAN B Your and your friend's mission ,,,,,should you choose to accept it...,, is to find photos and information of the old 106th Infantry Division when it was a active combat division of the Reserves in Puerto Rico

    Some real nice VN finds today...

    Very nice 68 dated vest, and nice practice grenade with correct fuse.
  16. Hello , not sure what's going on , but a I got a USMF notice that a dav3469 is looking for something to do with the Missouri Reserves , please contact me direct at my e mail.........When I tried to log in it didn't show the message ????????/ [email protected]
  17. This was found on etsy by another member and linked in an unrelated to Uniforms topic on a Helmet Decal of the 60s, I IDed as as one of those Training Brigade insignias seen as local approved DIs and Helmet Liner Decals in the 60s, possibly at Polk. Said Topic stated by Bill the Patch https://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/394082-vietnam-era-insignia-sticker-unknown/#comment-3066104 This more than likely is a PT Sweatshirt for this 5th Training Brigade. So lets Save it for future references

    Note to "ALL" members of my facebook Groups

    Good news , ALL the hacked groups have been finally taken down , Hooooo AHhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  19. So jumping back to this inquiry, I had the same question and reached back out to the Iowa Gold Star Military Museum on Camp Dodge about the coats. I was curious if any were IDed. The following was provided curtesy of The Iowa Gold Star Military Museum Camp Dodge, IA: Far Left Uniform: Identified to a Pvt. Raymond G. Anderson (#4819940) of Company G, 88th Infantry Regiment of the 19th Division. Honorably discharged May 1st 1919. Middle Uniform: Unidentified Far Right Uniform (tree patch): Identified to Pvt. 1st Cl. Albert W. Bollhoefer (#4817131) of Company B, 87th Infantry Regiment of the 19th Division. Honorable discharge September 30th 1919. Here are the two men's service cards as follows in order: Now what is unusual about the coat attributed to Pvt. Bollhoefer with the tree patch, it is an officer's coat with a 1st Sergeant's rank on the right sleeve. Unsure if there is more to the story than meets the eye and what I am able to see/have been told, but an intriguing patch for sure. Would be interested in hearing input from other members here on this site. Best Regards, -J.D.

    US Airship Pilot wings--a review

    Certainly for the Link/Amcraft wings, the salesman samples are logical origins. I lean away from the gold finished wings (other than pilot wings) being intended for instructors. I am only aware of civilians being used as pilot instructors, not observer, airship pilot or aerial gunner instructors. Another possibility for the gold finished wings are sweetheart pieces. I also wonder if the gold finish might have anything to do with "gold star" relatives wanting something that would reflect their lost loved-ones service.
  21. @CW4AFB, Great shot! Where'd you end up finding this at? Best Regards, -J.D.
