Please forgive me for asking this, but are those real? I am not a medal guy so I have no idea, but something about them looks strange? No offense intended.

Thank you Tony V

Boy   what a nice addition to your collection, and at a super price ! Congrats   Tony

Just enjoy the photo of what you would probably never have otherwise see.

Please do not start with all the Anti MOH discussion. PLEASE.

This was moved from ID to this forum, but I am still struggling with ID of the bayonet.  It is unlikely that it was collected at the same place or time as the bullet.  I have looked in the World of Bayonets page and this doesn't seem to match any of them, at least to me.  It is probably too far gone to identify and it is certainly in undesirable shape for selling, but I am still curious to figure out what I can.  I'd really like to know if it is Revolutionary or Civil War.  The overall length of the bayonet is 15.5"  Seems short?  The socket part is 2 11/16" long.  The diameter of the socket is roughly 1" OD and 7/8-15/16" ID  The top is sharp, I see no evidence of a sacrificial welded tip.  I see no ID markings.  Again this would have been collected somewhere in VA by my Dad, likely near the Hampton/Yorktown/Richmond area.  If any other measurements or picture angles would help, let me know

Thanks a lot

I like the photos you posted of the Diamond better and think its fine. Here is one I have still in a patch collection book I have.  Has the green base material showing through as well.  One reason I mentioned having something in hand is better than many of a sellers photos as in hand often tells a different story.    

Here's a unique WWII era - late 1940's Philippines Made Watch Band I picked up last Saturday at a local Military show for resale and it actually sold pretty fast.  This is the only WWII era PI watch band I've seen to date.  I've seen a handful of the Nam era Olongapo Diver's Type Watch Bands but never one like this.  I was told CEC stands for Civil Engineer Corps, the officer side of the Seabees.  If true, that's interesting because the PI ring in my collection has CEC engraved on the side as well and I never know what that stood for.
