riverok Posted May 31, 2009 Share #1 Posted May 31, 2009 A friend brought these items by the other day. They belonged to his late father in law (L.W. Slayden) who was with Gen. Patton's forces. I thought you might want to see these items that have provenance. One item...the small knife blade and serrated wheel are a mystery to me. Also the spread eagle pin. Any ideas?

Bugme Posted May 31, 2009 Share #2 Posted May 31, 2009 Nice items! The "spread eagle" pin is a lapel pin for discharged soldiers returning home. Known to soldiers as the: Ruptured Duck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
