A few times....

Hey Dan,   Thanks for the help. I do have a roster of the 111th derived from the December 1- December 31st Pay roll document. I found many of the men on the bill before having this document in hand, but it did help confirm a number of them. Sadly, those two names have eluded me. I appreciate your help! I do have ASN numbers for the men I've identified.    I guess those two men plus the French signatories will remain a mystery!   Thanks again - I really appreciate it!   B

1957 dated OG-107 with ORO and Operations Analyst patches. Has anyone ever seen the ORO patch?  

Thank you.  It sounds like you have done this before

I found it! I found it! 

The stamped B2 on the finger guard is an inspection mark, a mark that is sometimes poorly stamped.

. New acquisition at the Collins Museum    I called in the Collins Museum today while out in the Jeep, while I was in the UK two weeks ago this Tank Recovery Vehicle ( TRV M31 / M32 ) arrived although it appears quite rusty with faded paintwork apparently the engine runs.  Philippe and his sons have started stripping the interior to renovate it with new paintwork, also the exterior will receive a fresh coat of OD ( 1942 shade ), believed to have been built in March 1943.  It came from the French army museum and it was mentioned that there are possibly only about twelve survivors most of them just the shell, unlike this complete one.                Norman D.

Plastic insert - carefully pry off GW's head - it has 2 pins on the underside.

No markings on either of them. I suspected the right one to probably be a little earlier.

I would say the one on the right is WWI era and the left is pre-WWII.   Is the left marked with fire bronze?
