Anybody know anything about this one? Picked it up from a flea market for $5. I'm guessing the 28th ID when it was a National Guard unit in the 60's?

It will be a liner worn by a member of a unit assigned to the Headquarters of the Pennsylvania National Guard, circa late 50s into the 60s. It will not be one from the 28th Inf Div. Many unit's in the the NG are Separate non divisional units, so they wear the shoulder patch of their NG HQ, or occasionaly back in the day an Army shoulder patch, ie 2nd Army, 6th Army etc, which ever that might be in control where the NG unit state was located.

And here's the Shoulder Patch, I picked a nice 1950s to late 1960s flat edge to show you.

BTW is there another Decal on this liner, or is it the same on both sides?

This is an early 50s KW period CAPAC liner which has been used in connection with the Texas A&M University football team...the "Aggies"...by virtue of the decals. Maybe an ROTC unit, or a marching band even? Either way, it's a fine example of an increasingly hard to find KW era liner.

This liner belonged to my wife's grandfather, who served 1946- 1948. Left side is the 102nd "Ozarks" infantry division, right side the 34th field artillery.

Side Decal

attachicon.gifDSC00514.JPG

Nice one heftaa, too bad about the suspension, strange about the supension, the exteriour is near perfect. Anyhoo, I bet the enlarged grommet hole was for one of those 50s 60s screw back enameled rank insignias, most likely an EMs

Patches, I was thinking the same thing. I also have a mess of 28th Keystone Decals with ranks emblazoned directly onto the keystone but theyre a bit smaller and most likely post-date this as they include a Spec-4 rank on some.

Here's my 3rd Pattern Hawley liner that I got for a very good price not too long ago. This liner has two decals, a first sergeant rank and some sort of a NCO bar/stripe. It also has a white spot on the front where a name may have been written.
