Not stepping on your thread, but I picked up a Model T trailer/cart that had been converted to a goat drawn cart complete with whiple trees. I have the bones and I'm looking doing at the same things your doing. Fun stuff! An old man found it as a boy in the mountains in the 1960's. It took him and his brother two days to pull it out and get it home. -

Just caught this posting. This is my small collection of related items. I am missing a couple of the older shoulder patches and the colored "SDF" tab worn below the state HQ's patch. I find the qualification badge that dates @ WW2 of interest, but have found little written reference about it. There was a book project taken on and published @ 2001/2002 in a limited run pertaining to the history of the ORNGR & ORSDF. I included a photo of the cover, credits page & SSI reference page. Added info on Lamarhooten's patch pics, the 3 similar ones; showing the state capitol & beaver having "OMA, SDF & RES," the "OMA" actually is for Oregon Military Academy. On my pic showing the collar brass, it should be noted that the "US" has "ORE" (and not "OR") on top of the "US. To my knowledge new bras was never acquired and the old stocks were of brass were used. The ORSDF was deactivated somewhere @ 2012 by the Oregon Govenor. Both the ORNGR & ORSDF were totally made up of volunteers a good percentage of prior service, military retired & some typical civilians, with maybe a handful of the hierarchy on the state payroll. Also, the actual budget for either organization was typically non-existent. I had retired from the regular Oregon Army National Guard in '94. Following 9/11, I joined the ORSDF for about 5 years or so. Held a position equivalent to a unit 1SG/Tng NCO. The SDF is structured a bit differently than a typical Army National Guard unit. Ed -

Very nice - I too would love to see a period Buick Wings pin. As an aside and possibly from the first war, I've had this Buick Motor Co Aircraft pin in my collection for ages. I believe the maker mark says, Bastian Bros, Co. Rochester, N.Y., but I could be wrong. -
