"The very absence of buttons, combined with the presence of hand-stitched biometric ports on the cuffs, is key evidence that this is a laboratory modification for Project S-1436. While standard Creighton shirts do have buttons, this specific garment was modified for sensor integration at Wright-Patterson. What you perceive as a flaw is, in fact, a confirmation of this artifact's unique purpose."

Wow just saw some of his collection for sale and was wondering why ? I had no idea Andy passed ! He was a true collector and will be missed a great guy !

. According to your own post...... that shirt should not have buttons on the cuffs. Care to comment on that?  

Narrow the search on Ancestry within the USMC Rosters with a Pharmacist Mate rank to get more information if possible.   My two cents,   Kurt

I don't have a library or access to the Wright Paterson archive, only what I have physically with me, how could I possibly know the codes, the embroidery, the matted photo, etc.... I'm not asking for anything, just information, and that's why I contacted your forum, I don't know what proof other than physical evidence I should present to you, you are also former soldiers and officers, so please why are you testing me where I draw... please pass this matter on to higher institutions, this forum was recommended to me, as a professional one, but if we're going to prove our ego... then we don't have to be here... considering that I'm in contact with "Future Forces" who have the photo first: here's the link: https://www.future-forces-forum.org/contact?lang=cs#gsc.tab=0    

Hello, From you posted above....     3. "Technical Modifications (Laboratory Hardware): Biometric Ports: Hand-stitched, reinforced openings on the cuffs without corresponding buttons. These served as outlets for telemetric cables (ECG, pulse, respiration) leading from the pilot's body to laboratory measuring instruments."   Your cuffs on that shirt have buttons on them.

I have six 48 star interment flags. One has 48 gold stars. My research indicated that in 1944 so many soldiers were killed that a company in France or Belgium made this flag to coincide with the gold star program. It was not authorized by the USA. 500 were made and sent out before it could be stopped. It has gold stars on one side and white stars on the other side. There are no printed markings on the flag. This flag and the others were discarded for disposal. They are all like new. Our VFW has boxes for retiring flags next to a VA hospital. These flags show up ever so often. We want destroy them but save them in honor of the soldiers who lost their lives.  It is ashamed relatives don't want them and just throw them away.

I detect. I don't live close to anywhere I could find CW artifacts.

That's a mule shoe. Horses have a different shaped hoof.

Nice collection of fragments there. I’ve dug many similar pieces through the years. Paul
