hirsca Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Very nice. I picked this one up today at an estate sale with some other 2nd Inf Div items. Similar style with slightly different patterns. Thanks, Al Here is one of the 2nd Inf. Div. items I got at the same sale. Flag measures 3'x4' and is double sided. Beautiful enbroidered Indian head on each side, with the back side having a reversed image. Thanks, Al Link to post Share on other sites

67Rally Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 This one is a bit of an oddity. I just acquired it this week but the baffling part is the "Naval Base Boston" and that I can't find any examples of Boston-area bases being referred to as such. I do not profess to be a militaria expert, but I conduct as much research as I am capable of and then write about my findings.Check out my blogs, The Veteran's Collection (general militaria) and Chevrons and Diamonds (military baseball) Link to post Share on other sites

mohawkALSE Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 This one may be a little different but I always thought it was cool. US Army Aviation Precision Demonstration Team, Silver Eagles. Was a team of OH-6A helicopters from 1972-1976. This lot was said to come from one of the pilots. Link to post Share on other sites

Salvage Sailor Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Slipping in a Coastie Buckle..... USCGC CHILULA (WMEC-153) ex-Cherokee class USN Fleet Tug in USN service 1945 to 1956 as ATF-153, in USCG service 1956 to 1991. Redesignated as a Medium Endurance Cutter (WMEC-153) in 1966 It's always difficult to get a good photo of these Zippo buckles due to the high chrome finish.
