Baron3-6 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 You bet! I was sick when I first heard this, and very, VERY glad to confirm that it turned out not to be the case. It was a pleasure to meet you at the show, by the way. Likewise! You guys had an excellent booth, with lots of good prices on uniform pieces for guys like me who like to restore named uniforms. Here are my show highlights: -A named WWII Armor Officer uniform with minimal insignia and upon running the name through google found he had been KIA. (I about fell out of my chair) -Named 1st Sergeant Ike from a guy who served with 701st TD BN from Kasserine to the Po Valley -A nice possibly researchable 12th Armored Div Infantry uniform with CIB, a PH ribbon bar, and an ETO Base patch on the cuff - very unique. Afghanistan Vet OEF 10-11 - Engineer Corps US Army. Getting a medal means two things: 1. Someone saw you do it. 2. You didn't tick off the approval chain.Seeking 984th Engineer Co (Land Clearance), 36th Engineer Regt/Bde, and Sanitary Corps items from all eras. Link to post Share on other sites

airbornemedals Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I believe this is the set you are talking about. I think he was asking $2300 for it. Do you recall the dealer selling these helmets? Link to post Share on other sites
Sparty On Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Do you recall the dealer selling these helmets? Unfortunately, I do not. I was a little dissuaded by the seller after seeing the other reworked helmet set he had for sale. All I did was snap a quick photo and moved on.

Nack Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I missed the show, but was able to blow a bunch of money buying a cool group from a fellow local collector. So, I'm not too upset. Link to post Share on other sites

James39 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Thanks! You are correct, I followed a link from this tread thinking it would take me to pics of the 2014 show but I was actually looking at 2013. I remember seeing that in pictures of previous shows.
