BigDogMilitaria Posted August 20, 2018 Share #1 Posted August 20, 2018 I am really excited to add this Airborne Troop Carrier Grouping to my collection. Some folks were having an estate sale and I went to check out the Air Force uniforms they had. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. . He was a C47 Pilot, shows up on Market Garden rosters online . Really really happy with this new addition for my collection. Have to reattach most of the insignia. But an important lesson for those just starting out hitting sales, etc. Always ask if there is anything else. Some of the things we find very significant are not to the sellers. The tags, wings, bracelet, etc were all in a little box no one thought of much of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
