Do you know what the two different styles of hats represent?

Hi Nice deck jacket, with this date it should be from Cdr R F CAMPIONS Jr Ops Officer from 1968 to 1969 The large Size seems to be the right one ! Best Croc  

I know this wasn’t posted up for an opinion, but this is one of the first honest looking medic helmets I’ve seen in a long time. The wear patterns on the insignia and the rest of the helmet match up and there’s provenance, plus it can be ID’d to a specific unit and of the style of helmet. Very nice 👍 

Thank you for your enthusiastic endorsement of these new items, I like them too.

Nice old war horse! When I was an M60 gunner in the guard in the 80's, I was issued a WW2 .45. Fell in love with the dang thing. So much so that a couple years back I got one of my own. Congrats, looking good!

Nothing available, to my knowledge.   hyrax222

A made-in-Vietnam armband:     This unit was in Vietnam from 1965 to 1971.

I found this medal among my father’s memorabilia. He was very interested in our family genealogy and its Civil War history. He died and I have no documentation on who this belonged to. I believe the number is 11930. Can anyone offer any insight? Thank you. T A Duncan  

Hey Iron Bender, our experts opinion is that the saddle tree's are period, the swords are period, though some have been rewrapped or restored to varying extents, and that the accouterments like bridle, stirrups, and boots are a mix of period and style. Still an awesome collection though, we usually do not get militaria, so its been so fun for me to go through all the saddles, doing research on them and hearing from the experts!

Looking good Johnny.
