Here's the last one for 1300, anymore photos you folks need let me know! If they're overpriced, how much should I offer for them should they be authentic?

This one is for 1800, the one above is for 1300. My apologies!

Apologies, SonofNamVet, I didn’t see your post. But, as usual, yokota57 has the information you needed. He’s our resident expert! And, Oldcoolc, thanks for posting that excellent Zippo! 

This first one above is for 1800.

Hey guys! Saw a few WW1 Patched marine uniforms for sale that I'm debating on buying if authentic, what would the prices go for these too if real? Thank you guys!

My understanding of BBB Silver Star naming is that those medals issued by the War Department retroactively for valor citations prior to 1932 were engraved to the recipient.  Medals for WW2 actions issued to next of kin of KIA soldiers were also officially engraved.   Other BBB Silver Stars were issued to soldiers in the field in WW2. These medals are mostly unnamed as field headquarters did not have the time or capability to name medals. They are legitimate issues, just harder to identify. General Orders that link a medal number to a recipient are excellent sources of identification. Dog tags or other clues to a recipient's name can help in researching records to verify the award.   The engraving request cards enabled field recipients to send their medals back to the Army to have their name officially engraved.   My observations on price and desirability is that officially named medals are more valuable than unnamed but attributed medals. Unnamed, unattributed BBB Silver Stars are more valuable than other WW2 numbered Silver Stars.   Mike

I could almost swear I saw the 2nd Engineer patch on a few on Kandahar Air Base in 2012.

Detailed information on the seahorse insignia from the US Army Institute of Heraldry website. Background The shoulder sleeve insignia was originally approved as a pocket insignia for the Engineer Amphibious Command on 23 October 1942. It was redesignated as the shoulder sleeve insignia for members of Engineer Special Brigades in lieu of the shoulder sleeve insignia prescribed in paragraph 56a(15), AR 600-40, 31 March 1944, for members of all amphibian units by directive of Secretary of War-Disposition Form WDGPA 421, 12 June 1946. (At this time the insignia listed in 1a was worn by members of the Second Engineer Special Brigade on the left pocket). The insignia was reassigned as the shoulder sleeve insignia to be worn by the 2d Engineer Special Brigade on 11 March 1947. It was expanded to include approval for wear by the 409th Engineer Special Brigade on 20 March 1951. It was authorized for all Engineer Special Brigades on 26 October 1951. The insignia was redesignated for the Engineer Special Brigades and Amphibious Support Brigades on 16 June 1953. It was redesignated for the Engineer Amphibious Support Commands on 20 January 1958. It was amended to correct the description on 24 February 1958. The insignia was redesignated effective 16 September 2011, for the 2d Engineer Brigade."
