      This one and the one in the link from IMA look very similar except for I noticed the one I'm inquiring about has what looks like a brass outer part and the inside is probably silver unless the outer part was clad with brass... Unlike the one from ima that looks all silver... thanks

      Recently saw this patch on a uniform on eBay, has anyone been able to ID it? Or is the consensus still that it’s a novelty patch?

      Nice collection. You got there. Looks like it took some time put together..... As far as markings on the back, one of them are marked G.A. EFRON SILVER STERLING..... And it looks like the ship he was on was uss the Blackhawk. I did a little bit of research on the history of that ship and it seems as if it served its life doing mind sweeping patrols and them was refitted with torpedoes later on...thanks

      I have a Bombardier wing like this one, but mine does not have the sloped off edge of the Observer circle, and mine also does not have the ridge across the back of the wing on the one side like this one.  In looking at your photos again, I also noticed your wing has an extra bulge on the bottom edge of the Observer circle.   I feel like most Amcraft pattern Bombardier wings were made using a wing with a target background not the Observer background, and I don't know that I have ever seen an Amcraft Observer wing made with this forcer.  I'm not sure why they would have made Observer wings post WWII to use as the base wing for Bombardier wings.

      No maker mark on the holster. Clearly made for an M1911. I have no idea who Jean Jones was.

      So there are some big maps there 45 by 24 or so the big yellow and red ones.   I am thinking of taking the whole manual apart and selling it piece by piece.  Can someone please give me advise or direct me where I can get some advise.

      I'm looking for 6 cardboard tubes (tootsie rolls) for the 2.36 inch bazooka. Anyone have a resource for making them or purchasing them?        Matt R

      Adding a drawing that appears to depict the same type of saber in use.

      Still looking for the Ordnance variation the has the numerals "19" in the upper field above the tracks, canon, and lightening bolt.  Oh, someone conveniently plucked out the red numeral "1" from the yellow field to make it a generic 7th Cavalry Brigade patch but fortunately I have an example on uniform as shown with additionally added buff border.  Maybe it was an indication of QM within the 1st Cavalry Regiment prior to the entire organization transferring from the 1st Cavalry Division in early 1933.  There actually a lot more to that story that I'll eventually put into writing when I return back to my "Interwar Jives" column in ASMIC's Trading Post again.
