Preview. I will be reassembling my massive "Ladder" of qbars and marksmanship bars and badges from USA USM USAAF NRA 1800s through modern-day. MORE PICS INCLUDING ANTIQUE NRA BADGES AND ANTIQUE MARKSMAN AWARDS!

These bars need to be cleaned yes I know that haha! I recently acquired some very rare bars like ARMORED CAR WEAPON and CHEM.WARFARE, CNS, ARMORY ETC!

you may have seen my previous ladder display but I took it down because I have doubled my collection and also will simplify the way they hang. It will consist of qbars about 3 columns thick flanked by NRA enamel badges which are flanked by antique ladders like USRA and TIFFANY SPAN-AM-WAR ERA. I'll post the rest soon if you know where to get bars like TD57 or 22 CAL and also mispellings (I know of eBay jerk KOP whos past-sales or lack thereof shows he is either lazy and stuck up or allergic to money and sales past 40$ biyearly)

Very nice collection. I use to collect Q bars- had hundreds of them including the rare ones- but this collection is alot more impressive than what I had. Thanks for posting.

The is a great collection! Some very seldom seen bars in your collection! There was a great article in a recent issue of the Trading Post (ASMIC) about these bars. You should do a follow up or addition to the article! It is amazing just how many were made that were not approved! Post more pics akeep on collecting!

That's great collection. I have to agree with Jack you have some bars that I never saw or even knew existed. The badge with 8th AF insignia is a very nice piece, do you have any information on that piece? Was it a local issue thing or just a one off GI's embellishment? Either way it's very unique.

 

Nice collection.

WOW, thanks for showing this. I like it all, but the Q-bars blew me away. I have not been collecting but a few years and to think I was stoked to find a bayonet bar HAHAHA.

Nice collection.

 

 

I personally do not like the ones with the 8th AAF, Skull, & AVN pin.They look just like the ones someone sells on eBay.The bars the selves are very cool and there are some other unique badges there.

Wow there are a lot more q-bars than I would have guessed. It is a shame so many of the photos are no longer linked.

 

I happened across this q-bar the other day. You see the COAST ARTY quite often but this is the first time I have seen COAST ARTILLERY completely spelled out on a q-bar. Has anyone else seen this variation?
