Bullseye881 Posted October 12, 2015 Share #1 Posted October 12, 2015 Found this at a recent estate sale. I have bought quite a few Special Forces items over the last few years, but this was the first statue I had found. Where these made as souvenirs to send home, or where they more of an award?

tarbridge Posted October 12, 2015 Share #2 Posted October 12, 2015 They had all kinds of momento's. ..steins,plaques and statues...I don't know if they only were representing service in the 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted October 12, 2015 Share #3 Posted October 12, 2015 The time span on it is 14 months, so I would assume it was an end of tour award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFMike Posted November 22, 2015 Share #4 Posted November 22, 2015 These things were made different times and places as well as currently. Some variations as to finish, pose and base material. They were private purchase or were sometimes awarded as trophies, end of service, whatever you might imagine. They had a fill in the blank panel on the front.

ODA021 Posted November 22, 2015 Share #5 Posted November 22, 2015 I have two identical ones for 10th group members of the same company, same timeframe. The two that I have came from a shop in Fayetteville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawk3370 Posted January 19, 2017 Share #7 Posted January 19, 2017 These were usually given as a end of tour award from the men in the unit. This was mine when I left the 10th Group in1967. Inscription reads SSG Terryl R. Morris, From the Officers and Men of S3 10th SFG (Abn). Statue measures 6 1/4" in height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I walked into the Special Forces Book Store on Bragg it just blew me away.If it was anything to do with Airborne anywhere in the world and any type of unit, you could buy Books, Statues, Plaques, Certificates, Posters, & on and on. The plaque presented to me when I left the 82nd was from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
