Thank you for your enthusiastic endorsement of these new items, I like them too.

Nice old war horse! When I was an M60 gunner in the guard in the 80's, I was issued a WW2 .45. Fell in love with the dang thing. So much so that a couple years back I got one of my own. Congrats, looking good!

A made-in-Vietnam armband:     This unit was in Vietnam from 1965 to 1971.

I found this medal among my father’s memorabilia. He was very interested in our family genealogy and its Civil War history. He died and I have no documentation on who this belonged to. I believe the number is 11930. Can anyone offer any insight? Thank you. T A Duncan  

Hey Iron Bender, our experts opinion is that the saddle tree's are period, the swords are period, though some have been rewrapped or restored to varying extents, and that the accouterments like bridle, stirrups, and boots are a mix of period and style. Still an awesome collection though, we usually do not get militaria, so its been so fun for me to go through all the saddles, doing research on them and hearing from the experts!

Looking good Johnny.

Isn't the leather stamping kit that was used to make those markings the Model of 1910 Leather Stamping Kit?
