Original bringback

Vintage clothing, mid-century modern, Kitch is what people fight over in Colorado. Korean war flight jacket yes, USAF dress uniform no. 

thanks for the feed back on the first badge. I didn’t think of it being a warrant officer anchor but the pins make sense. The BB&B looks good to others I’ve seen and was thinking if the corrosion could be caused by galvanic corrosion?  The BB&B photos I copied from eBay of the back  isn’t allowing full size for some reason. 

In my neck of the of the woods there is a line to buy militaria of any kind and if it’s priced reasonably it’s gone.

Guys, can someone confirm if thie Marble's JPK 6" commercial knife it's an original one, or not? I would say that it is, but AI confused me a lot, and I'm kinda arguing with it among this subject. To me looks fine, but your opinion is more than welcome! Also, if it's an original one, $270 would be a fair price for it?   Thanks!

Just picked this 4 snap assault gas mask carrier, got it in the mail today. Snaps still show signs of blackening.    

This triangle is for E Troop 19th Cavalry.  Troop formed c.1967 and assigned to Hawaii National Guard.    There’s a little bit more information on the unit in Sawicki’s Cavalry Regiments of the U.S. Army book. 

You are most welcome, Arisaka.   When I first became interested in the Reising guns there was not a lot of solid information to be found on the .22 LR M65 and MC-58 versions.  Arms researcher/collector Dave Albert (who is also a member here) went after that topic with a vengeance.  The result was his excellent book which encompasses all of the Eugene Reising designs, with particular emphasis on the .22 rifles.  His book is written for collectors and I commend it heartily to you and anyone else interested in the subject.   Regards, Charlie
