10thMountainWWII Posted January 4, 2013 Share #28 Posted January 4, 2013 I've never seen a Purple Heart written on instead of the engraved name on the back. Very neat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJohn#3RD Posted January 5, 2013 Share #29 Posted January 5, 2013 10thMTN, It is actually engraved it is just the style used during that period of the war where they highlighted the engraving with a paint or ink. A more knowledgeable SME can tell us what was used. Regards, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamsdivision1944 Posted March 16, 2013 Share #39 Posted March 16, 2013 It was sold at this auction on New Year's Eve. I was bidding on it too. It was up for sale at the SOS as well, with a "Band of Brothers" graphic sign ... which which was a bit funny considering he was 501st not 506th http://www.auctionzip.com/cgi-bin/auctionview.cgi?lid=1617422 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pops369 Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share #40 Posted March 16, 2013 Gamsdivision1945 - I not an expert but wouldn't the Band of brothers include all of the 101st that landed on D-day and after or is it just the dozen or so guys portrayed in the movie. Just sayin. Also, you must have traveled a long way from Florida to that Small Indiana town and not buy the grouping. There was only one other phone bidder besides me and he told the auction company he was from New York and had a museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMMC Posted May 12, 2013 Share #43 Posted May 12, 2013 I just ran into this post by accident. My grandfather J.bea was the brother of Altus McReynolds. Jbea McReynolds and Margaret Mcreynolds had 5 sons; Roger, Altus-Glen, Bill, Tim and Jbea. I spoke with my Father today about his uncle Altus and his memories. We are both wondering how his collection got outside the family. Any information would be great. Joe McReynolds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
