501stGeronimo Posted May 18, 2014 Share #1 Posted May 18, 2014 Picked this up off of fleabay...and it will def. have to be restored. The seller (fellow forum member) wanted to save the insignia so he cut it off of the uniform. The back of it has wood and rubber cement on it, which I dont know how in the h*** that will come off. If it will. So, I bought the Bullion Combat Crew Brit made wings and Gemsco Bullion 8th AAF SSI from a fleabay auction. I contaced the seller about the cutdown to see if he still had it and if he would sell it. Basically gave it to me. It is named to James H Misch, who was a 2nd Lt in the 100th BG. Im stoked that it is named to a 100th BG Pilot and BLUE BACKED BULLION!!! So I will show you photos of how it looks now...and then how it looks once I am done restoring the insignia to it. I dont know if I can get the rubber cement out though...any thoughts? http://www.100thbg.com/mainpages/crews/crews5/misch.htm http://www.100thbg.com/mainmenus/350th/350th12.htm http://www.100thbg.com/mainpages/crews/crews5/misch.htm Poobah Palace, the center of activity in the 350th.

1SG_1st_Cav Posted May 18, 2014 Share #5 Posted May 18, 2014 FYI: There is a 100th BG Restaurant/Museum across the road from the Cleveland Hopkins Airport. They have a Facebook link but I cannot get it to post. Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
