One more photo.  I'll leave it there.  I'll just say that I am very proud to have known Joe.  He was a very private man but was family to us.  Not all the wounds of war are visible and I think he carried many with him.

I am curious, when do you imagine this was painted?

That's a very nice "U.S" disk variant.

Here's a recent FB marketplace find from this week. Sadly, the seller lost the veterans name to time, but he remembered him being a POW and being from West Hazelton, PA. Apparently he sold off the vets ike many years ago, but maybe its still around somewhere.  My 1st 8th bullion patch in the collection, I am very pleased. Enjoy!

I've got the Brit made badge that is unmarked.  Does anyone know who might have made this?  

Nice collection.    

Here is Charlton Heston's Colonel George Taylor with patch on flight suit.

@KurtA Fantastic finds! It's always hard to beat our friend Cody at that market 😉

So much for attempted humor.  I thought I was talking to PhilippineBuckles.

@jsand -  Any buckle that I acquire has to be 100% original so any type of remake would not even be considered and since my collection is super small it would be highly unlikely that I would consider a trade.  Regarding a Fort Mills buckle, being patient is the key as you never know what other buckles may surface in the coming months / years.
