Brought $480 on eBay last week...

 

Did anyone on here ever get that one? Have never stopped wondering what his file must be like! BTW, the double house where he lived still stands...per Google Earth....

Here's one I was tempted by at the Rose Bowl Flea Market. The seller was asking $350. For those unfamiliar, 514 was one of the Marine Corsair squadrons trained to strike V2 Rocket sites in the ETO from Navy Escort Carriers as a part of Project Danny.

Steve-

 

I didn't! I was still broke after paying for my 514 patch, oddly enough. It was still cool to see nonetheless.

brought $141 on eBay...

 

From what I could tell he was only in that unit poswar actually. Although he could be one of those who had earlier rolls missing from Ancestry...

Here's my ww2 sea bag that I bought off of eBay earlier this year. I think I paid around $40-$50 give or take for it. It didn't have any unit markings on it but by researching the units that were at each battle listed on the bag I think he was in the 4th Marine Defense Battalion.

That is one fantastic sea bag! Wow!! Is it named anywhere?

 

Very best.

I don't recall, the images were from the auction, I didn't buy it
