All Activity

Always hated Shore Patrol. Not sure where this is, but, it’s NOT Subic. Paved streets and way too clean.

One thing about "all original" when talking about WWII carbines is that the ten factories making the carbines shared parts during production years. My Standard Products carbine, from a company that made a reported only 4% of the total carbine war production, has parts that are marked with Inland and Underwood parts. Is it all "original"? Who knows?

Thank you!

I’m new to this, and it took me a second to figure out what the acronym meant, now I understand. Jet pilot survival knife.

Appreciated, thank you!

Looks good to me. I love the Benjamin O Davis signature.

An unusual PH certificate that was awarded to a National Guard soldier. From what I could find he was activated and sent to Vietnam. He served as a combat medic with 9th INF DIV / 60th INF RGT

The first ribbon is for the British Africa Star with "1" device indicating the British First Army.

I'm thinking WW2 era. Probably an award for civilians.

From what I've seen before. These were worn on the Ridgeway caps. I think 1950s era.

I'd say WW2 era

This one has me stumped. It's full size. Obviously looks foreign made.

My collection of PJ badges

Those are awesome. That Zippo as awesome.

Great patches! See this thread for some variants of the Young Tiger patches:

The light blue ribbon with the red, blue, and white center stripes is the National Reserve Officer's Association Award.

The last ribbon is for the 1939 - 1945 French Croix de Guerre with bronze palm. The bronze palm is for those who had been mentioned in dispatches at the army level.

Interesting... thank you.

Japanese made Snoopy flying his house that's a refueler. Came with a group of patches that belonged to a KC-135 boom operator.

Nice. I have a 313th patch like yours. Only other one I've seen.

Awesome group of patches from a KC-135 boom operator.

Assortment of unofficial unit insignia. Some theater made, some produced for sale to members of the Bushmaster Association over the years.

I am sorry to hear your husband is deceased, and I am glad you want to honor him for his service. I believe the one you mentioned, Republic of Vietnam Civil Action first class with Palm is the only one you mentioned that would have a golf frame. Do you have the ribbons you need to construct his ribbon rack?

It's interesting to see how much variation there is in the enameling of the gila monster, especially where the manufacturer tried to use two colors.
