Here are this morning's finds. Nothing special, but nice vintage pieces. The 752 Tank Bn fought in Italy. The other buckle has an Australian 1943 penny.

The CIB is a nice short post WWII vintage sterling piece. The Expert badge is probably USMC WWII vintage.

 

Judging by the hallmarks, the Jump wings look to be made by NS Meyer in the late 50s. I don't know if you can see it in the photo below but 1944 is scratched below the broken post. I am now wondering if maybe these wings were bought in the 50s by a WWII vet and he scratched the date on the back. Well, that's just speculation. I found the wings and the WWII CIB together so maybe they are connected to a WWII Paratrooper but who knows. Either way, a nice looking set of wings with a combat jump star and CIB.

 

As always I look forward to your comments and observations

 

Thanks

 

Dennis

Nice finds. I have almost an identical belt buckle to the theatre made Australian coin and bullets. Interesting, must have been a popular design! Thanks, Jim
