Thank you! The garrison cap is a stunner, I think the whole thing is German made. 

A nice patch. I had one similar that belonged to a WAC in post War China. They were made of silk and you could unsnap them for cleaning the wool uniform. 

Thank you for this additional information, Dan! I greatly appreciate it.

Cool

. Father and Son 'Then and Now ' fifty years apart.   In 1976 the MVCG group took two hundred privately owned WWII military vehicles on a trip through Normandy to Paris.  Bill Millin joined us on that trip he was the famous bagpipe player who landed on D-Day and played the pipes leading Lord Lovat's Commandos from the beach to Pegasus bridge to relieve the Ox & Bucks glider troops that captured the bridge.  1976 was one of the hottest summers on record, we spent several hours parked in the centre of Paris, our vehicles already hot from the drive became hotter with several hours of sunshine on them.   When the convoy was ready to move several of the vehicles had starting problems mine included, the starter motor engaged the fly-wheel but became stuck on the flywheel, whilst I tried to fix it, our friend Bill Millin circled around the Jeep playing a lament for the ' dead ' Jeep.    Today in Carentan at the Longest Yarn exhibition I had the opportunity to re-construct that scene with John Millin the son of Bill Millin.       Norman D.

Great stuff. That German camo in the garrison cap is killer.

Sent you a PM.

Thanks all!    In the time since, I’ve also located another Ike jacket, his m41, an HBT cap, a BG license plate, a lighter, some coveralls, a duffel bag, one of his small general flags, his musette bag, and misc insignias/photos with another collector out in CA. We’ve discussed letting these go, but I’ve not heard back in awhile.   I believe I now know where his medals are, but have not made contact with the collector yet.   Other pieces I know that are out there are his modified tanker jacket, helmet, some field gear, dog tags, field binoculars, and others I am still probably not aware of! It was a very large group sadly split over the years. There’s some potential given the above leads, but it’s generally pretty sporadic!

I don't have any maternity items. That has to be a narrow collecting field. We were putting hay in the barn last night. I will drag more mannequins out tonight.
