Here's an FO rank as a sweetheart pin from my collection. The back of the rank piece is flat/smooth with no evidence of a fastener ever attached (other than the loops for the chains).  

Is it the base or he set you are willing to art with.  Can't wait to geit up and running again thanks, Hobie

Nice lot, looks like a lot of offeregas, good for ww1 and 2  

Awesome Displays, I love looking at these, Not only is the attention to detail done at a high standard the History and story are attention getting and lead me to learn more, Thanks BTW the Pilot in the  "1944 VBP-135 pilot from the Aleutians campaign" makes me feel sorry for him, Looks like he is starting to sweat 🤣 I always like to have the Pink Floyd song "Learning to Fly" playing in the background when I work on my Aviator displays  

Hi all!    Been here awhile, but I’m a high school history teacher and historian from NC. My particular interests are 5th Marine Division, Paramarines, 8th Air Force Fighter Groups (355th FG to be specific), and pieces connected to Tarawa!    In my spare time I interview combat veterans about their experiences and upload them from education for the public and my students to YouTube.   Zach 

I've been focusing primarily on the WW2-dated and named buckles, because my dad was in Manila in '45 and '46.  I'm curious what floats your boat (pun intended).  Back to the auction lot photo, is there any value to the six on the left?  It's time to thin my collection.

Maybe your guy, found a Simon but he wasn’t wounded. There is multiple Samuel‘s but this was the only wounded one I found   

I don’t have many USMC EGA’s in my collection. With that said I recently picked these up at the flea market for less than $10 for the lot. Two of them were made by HH and one by Meyer, the one on the right end in the photo has no markings. Any helping IDing them will be much appreciated!                                        

Thanks for all the input!

$133 wasn’t a terrible price to pay for this MSA large ACH with ACU cover.cover and pads.
