doyler Posted July 15, 2016 Share #1 Posted July 15, 2016 Ran across this today.24th Bomb Squadron Guidon still attached to the staff.Little rough but it has been sitting in a garage for years.May try to give it a light cleaning.Not my real intrest but had to try and rescue it. The staff is one piece and Im not sure if that helps with dating the item.The Guidon is tacked down to the staff on each end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share #2 Posted July 15, 2016 The base material is a blue wool and the lettering and insignia are both direct embroidered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manayunkman Posted July 15, 2016 Share #3 Posted July 15, 2016 What did the owners have to say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Jerry Posted July 15, 2016 Share #4 Posted July 15, 2016 Nice piece, the 1pc poles are earlier, but I am not sure when they went to the 2pc. I would guess WWII on it though. Nice piece. If you decide to part with it LMK, I don't have any AAF in my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manayunkman Posted July 15, 2016 Share #6 Posted July 15, 2016 Thanks for responding. Too bad. That's one thing that is not up to par about estate sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Ragan Posted July 16, 2016 Share #7 Posted July 16, 2016 Thanks for responding. Too bad. That's one thing that is not up to par about estate sales. People who handle estate sales are only interested in making the most money possible from the items they are selling. This is what the family or whoever owns the stuff is interested in. Providing a "history", of anything that's being sold is not part of the equation. That's just the way it is boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like he was a 200 mission B52 vet and served sometime in a Unit with FB111A . Not sure uf this guidon was related or from another family member.
