Yes. "Camp Funston Kans."

I acquired this a while back and have only now had a chance to look it over. The shell is a fixed bale, front seam with very nice paint. But I'm not an expert in M1s and the heat stamp is unfamiliar to me. I can see the "S" clearly. I see numbers to the right of the S. But above the S I can see either a "C A" or "6 A" - My eyes aren't what they used to be (see photos). Can anyone help me date rhis based on those stamps? Is that a common configuration? The helmet came with a Hawley liner. Thank you for any help.

Great find! It also appears to me that it says camp funston kansas

Absolutely beautiful grouping there and gorgeous wing. Good luck with your research and thanks for sharing.! 

I was fortunate to acquire a wonderful PC insignia group that a friend acquired right outta the woods, Insignia belonged to a Lt (later captain) Carley M. Pope , luckily his watch fab wasn’t lost otherwise we would have never known who he was, found him listed on the roster in 1909 as a 2nd LT, he was buried in Arlington in 1934. not much else i’ve been able to find but this is fresh into my collection today. enjoy    Fritz

Impressive... Looks like my reference library....   Leigh 

Awesome 

This surfaced at a family member's estate some years ago in Charlevoix, Michigan. Named to Leroy F. Gerard. The group includes his jacket (named tag in pocket) and his visor cap. Additionally, a page from a photo album that has a 3x5 of Gerard by a plane and, on the back side, 4 smaller pictures two of which are in Brest, France. So far, no luck researching him, but I'm just getting started. On the tag with his name I also see very faint inked markings that look like "CO. H Rosenthal Camp Funston, Kans." Maybe younger eyes than mine can confirm that.

Fantastic insignia!!  i recently came across a officer insignia group to the PC, he was there as a 2nd LT in 1909   Fritz

Did any of you guys get this buckle that jsand posted above? I bought two more of his buckles below and would like to reunite the buckles. Here are two that I have.    Thanks, Chris
