Wharfmaster Posted January 20, 2014 Share #4 Posted January 20, 2014 I have a few NVH insignia. However, not the cap badge. Has to be scarce. Nice find ! W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARGE Posted January 21, 2014 Share #5 Posted January 21, 2014 Craig, Could we see a couple of overall pix of the cap? I would love to see an interior shot or two and one of the chin strap buttons if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted February 9, 2014 Share #13 Posted February 9, 2014 I have a book listed on my website from one of these homes in Leavenworth, Kansas. The residents wore uniforms.. I couldn't paste a link to it for some reason here. But, if you go to http://www.ourboysof98.com under the category PAPER you can see some photos of the contents. (It is the 21st row from the top ) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
