warpath Posted September 25, 2016 Author #3 Posted September 25, 2016 Neat pocket knife shaped like a pistol, pull the trigger and the blade pops up
warguy Posted September 25, 2016 #7 Posted September 25, 2016 Man Ed it is like the Energizer bunny, it just keeps going and going.... Incredible grouping!
Edelweisse Posted September 25, 2016 #8 Posted September 25, 2016 Looks like he picked the pocket knives up in Koblenz when he was in Occupation duty. Gold button German Imperial navy...and a French button....looks like the Iron Cross black and white ribbon needs to go back on the Iron Cross 2nd class vs. the round medal but....really cool grouping from a WWI USMC veteran...that stayed all together over the years....almost 100 yrs at that.....WOW.
Reforger Posted September 25, 2016 #9 Posted September 25, 2016 Interesting lot of souvenirs, I also see one French button and two British buttons.
