bryson152 Posted December 6, 2008 Share #1 Posted December 6, 2008 Hi All, The above came from OMAHA. It is half of the bottom of a 105 shell (Other half blown off). The inscription reads "D-DAY JUNE 6 1944 AFRIC" (That's all I can make out). Inserted into the top is a 1939 Italian coin. Found up on the bluff in the 1st Inf. Div. sector. regards Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryson152 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share #13 Posted December 8, 2008 Hi, "Are you interested in selling any of those items Allan B?". I suppose everything has a price. Regards Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpw_42 Posted December 9, 2008 Share #14 Posted December 9, 2008 Surprising to see those collar disks/branch insignia - would be interesting to know when they were lost, as there were a LOT of troops who came over those beaches. The other items seem pretty routine "GI Joe" items, particularly the crucifix and madonna (?), which I'll guess were worn on ID tags. Not looking to purchase from Allan, but AWESOME items to have in one's collection... Thrasher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
