Thanks Blitz. It is because you guys are the experts that I submit this to you. You always deliver. Any thoughts on the Captain Skirving  in the Medical Corps-No. 0388147?

There is or was a similar one on WorthPoint described as, "RARE 1950'S EARLY 60'S 19TH ARMORED ENGINEERS "E" CO. ON TRIANGLE ARMY GREEN BRD."  The letter "E" is smaller and the number "19" uses a slightly different font.   https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1950s-early-60s-19th-armored-1901482006

Thank you, sir. I couldn’t agree more. The Korean War is absolutely wild to learn about and frankly, the combat conditions of Korea were anywhere from trench warfare to urban combat. We frequently learn about the Banzai attacks in the Pacific but seldom do we hear about the massive wave attacks in Korea. 

Beautiful displays!  Really well done.

I know that too, we guess company is using up excess poplin cloth.

Flea market finds of the day!   -Laundry numbered dress jacket, found some goodies found in the pocket. The sleeve patch was taken off sadly. -Vietnam KIA presidential letter, can’t find much on him, John J. Hopeck. -Named Luftwaffe visor, insignia was taken off at some point. Not an expert on German stuff, not sure if it’s air crew, signals, or FJ. I wonder if the name can be researched to! -Dust goggles, desert storm era -Daisy western cap gun -Homefront 40s/50s USPS winter cap with the cool numbered badge -SEAL insignia   Was a great and fun day to find some militaria!    

Thanks for the comment, possibly what may have happened but that little rivet seems like it has been there a long time based upon the rust or patina. Regards  

interesting thread. I appreciate obscure items. I have never seen this pin.

Two great USMC groups. Korea is often overlooked by a lot of collectors and very undervalued.
