History Man Posted February 6, 2014 Share #1 Posted February 6, 2014 With the SOS coming up, I have saved up all my money and have resisted buying items....until yesterday. A friend of mine came down yesterday and brought me some items, so I was able to exercise my wallet and get it ready for the maneuvers it will go through at the SOS in a few weeks. Was able to pick up a variety of nice and interesting pieces. The other lot came from a picker of mine on the coast, this came from the family, an interesting mix...

manayunkman Posted February 6, 2014 Share #8 Posted February 6, 2014 Are those British para wings ? Do you sleep at all ? Everything is great and it all fits into a suite case if you were thinking of bringing it with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History Man Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share #11 Posted February 7, 2014 Thanks FF, I think I gave the wallet one heck of a pre-game stretch with this lot. The finds had slowed down for a few weeks, but you know what they say....when it rains it pours. Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsakers85 Posted February 8, 2014 Share #12 Posted February 8, 2014 2nd lot from my picker. Couple of un-named Purple Hearts, and an interesting WW1 3rd ID group Your man was a Mason as evidenced by the small double headed eagle of the Scottish Rite pin and the Malta jewel of the Masonic Knights Templar (that's the white Maltese cross with the black ribbon). If you know what state the Brother is from, you can contact the Grand Lodge and they can provide you his Lodge membership info and degree dates.
