Oiler has a leather O ring, and a dipstick!

The building the museum currently resides in was built as the (58th) Brigade Officers' Mess. Later on it was used as a library. Most of the original Guard-era buildings still survive and have been beautifully restored. Highly recommend a visit to anyone interested. Well worth the trip!

Your cover is original

Oiler looks to be a WWII made by International Silver(IS). There are repros so just to be sure,check to Oring (if still there) Originals will be leather o ring and a dip stick attached to screw cap, rubber is a repop, no  o ring and no dip stick= repop

Agree.  Having that AF Reserve ribbon on a jacket with a ruptured duck strongly suggest the jacket is quite "touched."  Not the way it would have been worn coming home on the boat in 1945.  

This is my WW2 Marine Cover. Does it have the correct stitching pattern?

I’ve had this nice Ike jacket a while I’d like some reviews please.    I was wondering if anyone has access to records or morning reports to confirm what specific unit he served with. There is an infantry HQ disc on the collar   39102609  H. S. LITZ       

Again, Seller claims this is a 714th Bomb Squadron 448th Bombardment Group Patch from WWII. I happen to have a great Uncle who was was a bombardier in the 714th and lost over France in late June of 1944. Accordingly, I have a few patches from the 714th, and this does not match. Maybe it is a one off for a communications specialist?   I messaged the seller and was told "[his] description was based on the information he provided" from a long time collector offloading their patch collection.   Thoughts? If it was 714th, I wouldn't mind having it. Neat patch even if it isn't 714th.   https://www.ebay.com/itm/188330446581?_skw=448th+bomb&itmmeta=01KTBZNHA7CTYBT3WN0MQH7NW3&hash=item2bd95e8ef5:g:Tj8AAeSwpHBp8px4&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA8GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xC9Iri1ebg6NzNM6jA9WrfBGgq4tC5PR27GuEjy6%2Fbf4q6X2yhTwSDXc%2BmDTTGnKJWJlAouqKYzQdgizoCMWLbkve%2FVd5jvR8UlpUsghBv7FC1OQFRvireUHdBYBD2SDf1iwqsnqcMT7oT97mmyCLQD5hoaheKFpPdXvCUWkuJ08M4tPNjxwblIwuwRBwrBQOXbCYSA0MUpbehFUXh%2F2fsRC%2FvLN7m0eDgmyIYLoI4exosV%2FAPkZMYUtTUpoFNt7yIwhSMkVynX5xMUfd25iFhenkItqk0JLdOmJ6ZlebtRvQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6yV1v_SZw

Thanks Bob.

Besides the ribbon bars being out of order, the Armed Forces Reserve Medal ribbon seems odd. That award didn't come out until 1950. It represented continuous service in the reserve elements of the US Armed Forces.
