Manny, did you actually put sand between some of the bags, like it leaked out?     Good grief, brother, your work is top tier.  

Thank you Lars and Kat. The tweaking I was talking about is something the camera picks up that the eyes sometimes miss. Thanks Kat. I look forward finishing soon.   Semper Fi.   Manny

Very nice complete group, nice when it all stays together. 

Not much common and ordinary there.  Just about every one is unique or special.  Nice collection Sir!   Lance 

Grouping to the Lehman brothers, William "Bill" Lehman and Roy F. Lehman Jr. William was with the 440th Troop Carrier Group as an engine mechanic, and Roy was a sharpshooter with the 310th Infantry Regiment Constabulary in the occupation. There are tons of interesting and historical items in the group, my favorite has to be Williams ike jacket or the German flag Roy brought back. William stated that the flag was traded for by Roy with a pack of smokes. This group was bought from William by a fellow collector in the area who was kind enough to pass these items on to me as the new caretaker.

Very impressive collection. Thanks for sharing

Very nice Matt!

As I continued to scroll....I didn't want it to stop?  Thanks Marv

I agree with Uniform of the Day that it is an artistic version of a standard shield
