      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.

      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.

      Pulled these out of storage last week and of course posted them on my beloved Interwar Section of the forum where I basically live.  Anyway, decided I should probably post these here as well.

      Found this little gem of collar insignia in storage recently.  Missing a few companies but this is one hell of a start!  A few traders to get those missing.  Too cool.

      To quibble a bit, the WWII aircraft vintage wings tended to use a different, unique forcer that gave the back a more "pinched" view.  After the war, the a number of companies (such as Dondero using the D2 alpha/numeric code IIRC) also used these patterns.  The back was different with a much softer look, like the OP wing.   If I had to guess, this is likely a KW/post KW USAF bombardier wing that is commonly seen as a transition from the USAAF to the USAF insignia.  Not terribly uncommon, but still a neat wing.   P

      My guess is that these are either more recent fakes because they look "too good" or perhaps post war/cold war vintage wings. I have had English made wings that dated to the 60's that were like this.  I am leaning towards someone look one of the more recent vintage wings and changed the pin to look like a WWII vintage badge. But the thing about these English made wings, you kind of have to decide for yourself.
