That is a General, they had the option of modifying or even designing their own uniform. It is basically a Model 1902 uniform with embellishments and in all probability was a one off, the caption on the picture says it was made in 1931 not a Model 1931 worn by all officers or even generals.

Thanks! That’s interesting, and the reason I asked. On our next walkies I’ll try to get a closer look.  mikie  

It IS an info repository, and a valuable one. Your cartridge is like one my uncle gave me when I was a kid, though I don’t remember the head stamp it had. He was in the Guard, not a collector, so it was probably current issue at that time, early 1970s?  Do you have any information on your round? It must be fairly early for the M16?  mikie

It looks to me like a former military (Humvee) ambulance.

I can’t clearly make out his ribbons, but the 8th Army was active in the southern Philippines, including Cebu, during WWII; and of course, later in Korea.

8th. 

If you tell us his name we could try and find some info on him.

I believe Rock-ola's never had factory adjustable sights.  The adjustable sight on your Rock-ola was most likely either put on by a unit armorer or when going through an inspection and rebuild program, replacing the flip sight.

Hi Beth (Dutton?), I know absolutely nothing about saddles but perhaps you can take a look at this previous post and see if it makes any sense to you.  Hopefully, someone that knows more about what you have will answer as well.  By the way, in case it is you, I love your new show on CBS. https://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/267993-jqmd-1942-saddle-yard-sale-pickup/

I agree. That's what I was thinking.    Wade
