Two more I remembered:   Corvette K-225 (1943) Go Tell the Spartans (1978)

Thank you guys! I will have to buy Bill Walter’s book as I don’t have any books on knifes and I should. I love the private purchase stuff like this and it wouldn’t hurt to have a reference book for them! Once again many thanks   Michael

i did!

Korea Ike’s great. Still a good flip either way👍

All the other recent finds have gone in appropriate threads, but these were a little bit on their own.   From a $5 pin bin at an otherwise very pricey shop, this 327th Glider/Airborne Infantry pin back DI from NS Meyer.  DIs aren't my thing, but as I recall pin backs like this are late 40s-50s which makes it an alright deal to me.     Also pleased to fill out my range of Goldenlite insignia quite a bit with this noncombatant PFC and Corporal, plus combatant Sergeant (a duplicate, oops) and Sergeant First Class.

Surprising streak.  Identified this one, unsurprisingly given the Rigger qualification, a Quartermaster officer and assistant commandant at the QM Center and School when he retired I think.  

Wow! Thank you so much! I can't wait to show the family!  I also love the research, discover, and sharing the stories.  I hope one day I can develope your skills!   Thanks again

Wartime Bulova and Zenith issued to US and German forces respectively. Both feature post-war commercial straps. 

Here's a parkerized one with the spacers (more common, according to Bill Walters' book).    

Yes the top bar is missing…..as for “well made” it’s as well made as any asiatic spoof medal, which means it’s poorly made like all of them were. The eBay pix are just clearer.this example was the first to show up as shown above in 2018….followed by a second one several years later that another fourm member owns….now one on eBay.
