aznation Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Hi ram957, I believe what you think is AFMSE is actually AFMSC and below is what it stands for.

aznation Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Also, AFMSC stands for "Air Force Office (Manager) of Statistical Control". That's where the loss reason is obtained from Headquarters, USAF. Specific areas of collecting and buying interest: WWI/WWII 40th (Sunshine) Division, Camp Kearny, Camp Harry Jones, WWI/WWII 158th Infantry, USS Oklahoma, USS Swordfish (SS-193), Pearl Harbor Survivors Association, Mexican Border (1916), Norman Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) Norman, OK, Tinker Field or AFB, Submariner Items, Knives, Bayonets, Sweetheart Jewelry, other unique or odd items with interesting stories.
