Navy Dan Posted October 2, 2011 Share #1 Posted October 2, 2011 Hi Everyone, I just got the PH that goes with the 17th AB grouping I posted before. I had to wait but glad the group is back together. I have not seen an army PH engraved like this before. I feel good with the history and where it came from just wanted to put it out for opinions.

Dave Posted October 2, 2011 Share #2 Posted October 2, 2011 Well, easy enough for even me to state that it's not official engraving. However, it looks REALLY cool! I like it! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Dan Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted October 2, 2011 Thanks Dave, I figured it was not official but it looks period engraved to me. It is really well done I like it to.
