Picked these 2 items up at the monthly flea market. First is a workers picture ID card for the Navy Yard. Which specific Navy Yard location might this be? The patch is a nice post-war German made one -

Memory Eternal! My sincere condolences to you and your family, Dan! I'm fortunate to have a few of your Dad's knives; they definitely stand out from the crowd; when you see one of your Dad's knives, you can always tell it's an EDMF at first glance! I'll have to learn and discover more early backstory on your EDMF and your dad. -

WWI-era 7th Division painted helmets are quite common. They can be found with the insignia on the front, on the front and rear, or on the sides. A camouflage design with a patriotic shield and the 7th Division insignia on top are also fairly common. I don't know of any evidence that suggests any were painted before the Armistice. -

Looks like official government engraving to me, but not from the Vietnam War era (more likely the 1990's). -

Hi Vincent, For what it's worth, I came across the same group on yet another platform and at a fraction of the price. I was hesitant after reading that it had already been offered several times, but decided to take the chance any way. It ended up arriving several days later (to my surprise), and once it came in I compared the engraving against a documented 1985 reissued set I have. The engraving is consistent, but Sibley's medals are obviously not as centered as the other example I have. What I found especially interesting was the mix of WW2 and contemporary 1980's (LI-GI) hardware. Any way, the story that he was reissued his medals in 1985 seems to add up. I believe the reason for the missing GCM is because he was listed as a deserter later in 1945 (which also lead to the stripping of his rank from SSGT back to PFC, I believe). Fred
