I have been inventorying my collection and when I got to the DCU uniforms at least the ones I know were worn in Afganistan I noticed what seems to be laundry numbers. I have not been able to do a deep search of this thread so I am asking if this has been addressed before?

Hello Spathologist, I've examined my Saber very carefully but I haven't found any markings. The information I have about this Saber comes from here: https://www.springfieldedge.com/sword_m-1872_mount.html

Yeah my kids make fun of my phone. 10 years old? I may get a new one soon

If you happen to have one of the newer iphones, you’d be shocked at how much you can zoom in for pics.    Rob

Those are some really nice uniforms, especially the Iraqi 36 Commando shirt.  Some rare pieces shown there.  

I've gotta get a better loop. I'll work on that asap as I've got multiple images that need some further investigation. Anyhow, no pelican buttons for now. I'll get it figured out. I looked at it through two different magnifications at the show and they're clearly Louisiana ...if any of yall have image photography hints or product suggestions, I'm interested

Stateside I think, with this guy being in the Air Corps, he is handing some kind of Bomblet container I believe 

An Error I presume, or a Test Run, in any case, the wrong colored thread, should of course be Black   An 70s 80s Merrowed Edge 83rd ARCOM in a Medium Blue-ish Color,  

And now for something completely different… I’m slowly unpacking my boxes of stuff now that the painters are almost done in my bedroom. I came across these two original publicity photos from a couple of wartime movies, “So Proudly We Hail” and “Lifeboat”. I have yet to watch either of these films yet. Have any of you seen them, any good? mikie

I had my hands full with the dogs and wasn’t able to get a good look at much, except when Baylan wanted to pee on something. By the time I was free to explore, the flower pots, an interesting Budweiser box, and that tree were gone. There are folks in trucks and vans cruising around grabbing whatever looks good to them. Hopefully it all goes to good use (even if not by me) instead of a landfill.  mikie
