Seeing it I would say probably $200-300. Is it dated? Is the scabbard marked? -

Does anyone know the time frame that Westinghouse began using the wire type buckles on their M1C liners rather than the cast steel/green painted buckles? I am curious if this was a really late war change, or if these were made post war in the intervening years between WWII and the Korean War. Thanks. -

I have a Model 1852 Naval Officer's Sword and the supplier's name is "S.N. Meyer, Washington, D.C". I have seen many of these swords "for sale" on eBay, etc. but they indicate "N.S. Meyer, New York". My investigation indicates that S. N. (1843 - 1910) was the father of N. S. (1870 - 1935). "S.N. Meyer, Washington, D.C." probably was started in the late 1860's. Most of these swords are incorrectly described as "Civil War" swords; N. S. didn't start his business until 1906; S. N. didn't emigrate from Germany until 1867. Regardless, has anyone done research on swords marked "S.N. Meyer, Washington, D.C."..? Since these are somewhat rare on the online sites...I am wondering if there has been a market value established. I am in my 80's and ready to sell...! -

Yes indeed! In the late '50's I saved my high school lunch money to buy military cartridges. Several times a year a friend and I went to the Kankakee gun show which featured two collector cartridge dealers. Still have them all. I bought a rare .22 box at the Baltimore show last Saturday.

This is off Utah Beach. The guys with arcs on their pots are from an Army Engineer Special Brigade. The guys with the greay bands are from a Navy Beach Battalion. Tom -

I think the mark on the cloth cover is the number "10." The line is added to show the bottom. Otherwise, it could be read "01." I have no idea what it means, Tom -

I want to follow up on my previous post. I ended up getting the 25th Infantry/ Sangwoo lighter. I will post some pictures once I receive it. I didn't realize Sangwoo Tailors did quite a bit of work for the US military. I found a picture off the internet of a 1969 US Army officers mess dress. Thank you yokota57 and Cobra 6 Actual for all the great information! -
