I have these 2 bayonets . The one has FCM stamped on the end. The other has just the date on the blade. I believe its1861. I'm going to a Militaria show this weekend in Phoenix.  I just wondered what I should ask for them. Thanks. 

I couldn’t find anything on the back of the ribbon bar itself unfortunately.  

I am not with my State Guard reference material right now. A Googlw image search was negative. Just wondering if someone could give me a pisirive ID on this one. It is silver dollar size, so probably for wear on an overseas type cap.

Ring found at an antique store. Appears to be a cerillos turquoise stone (links to Navajo, according to my web searches) but I have no clue if the EGA emblem is authentic or when it was made. Bought it as a gift for my retired Marine, and would love to have more historical info on it (if I can find it!) Also if anyone can give any context on the ring as a whole, that would be amazing. Thank you in advance!

Yes, carbine would be accurate for an NCO, but many still carried garands.

Ok thanks!

A detailed post with pictures is up on the Military Vehicles forum here: Camp Delta 2 Military Vehicle Show & Swap Meet September 23 through 26, 2026 California - MILITARY VEHICLES - U.S. Militaria Forum This event is near Isleton, California, and is the new venue for an annual FALL event since 1987. 

Nice research on the Older signature.   I was not aware that LASC judge Older, who presided over the 10 month long  Manson murders  trial (longest in US history at the time) was also the 3rd highest scoring ace in the Flying Tigers.  Too bad Judge Older couldn't preside over another high publicity LA multiple homicide trial 30 years ago.  

Jim, Thanks for looking to come up with some answers! Best, John
