rrobertscv Posted August 14, 2016 Share #1 Posted August 14, 2016 Been trying to research this bag. I have looked on the NARA, for the name and number, but can't find anything. What do you guys think it says? To me it looks like: US 53177305 Pitts, Merrert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew1945 Posted August 14, 2016 Share #3 Posted August 14, 2016 Definitely Pitts Herbert or Pitts Herrert. - Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrobertscv Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted August 14, 2016 I was thinking Pitts was his last name, but can't find anything the other way either. Maybe it's not WWII issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12thengr Posted August 14, 2016 Share #5 Posted August 14, 2016 That's an SS# probably from the '70's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattS Posted August 14, 2016 Share #6 Posted August 14, 2016 1950s-60s, Herbert L. Pitts. It's an ASN with a US prefix and not a SSN so pre-1968. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted August 14, 2016 Share #8 Posted August 14, 2016 No it isn't Herbert guys it's Merrert L. Pitts US 53177305. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattS Posted August 14, 2016 Share #9 Posted August 14, 2016 According to Google, No results found for "Merrert L Pitts". I think Herbert is more common a first name than Merrert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
