Good evening Frank,   Thank you for your answer. I do enjoy them too ;)  I was looking in The US tanker helmet book, and saw there was 2 patents from Rawlings (1941 and 1942), one of them had the digit 6, probably the other and the lastest  had the digit 8 : see in the right top corner of the drawing   Coulndt take a more clear picture but in real life it does look like a 6 :   130 678     Cheers   Erwan

Now to track down a PAC and American Campaign version.

Very cool "Tough (H)Ombres" necklace. I have a 90th Ike jacket named to a Silver Star and Purple Heart recipient.

Thanks Jim!

Trying to figure out what canteen's the marines used during the Mexican-American war, 1846-47.  Did they use an army version or did they have their own? Also interested to know if the navy used a canteen for their shore parties. Thanks for any insight you might have.   Scott

Hello Doyler. Thank you for the advice. Another disaster averted! Kimd regards, Malcolm.

Hey everybody.    On my way to St. Louis for a robotics tournament, and on the way I picked up this bugle. It was advertised as a WWII bugle, is it?   Either way I'm happy with my find, as I got it for free.    Thanks!   Wade  

If I'm not mistaken, it is the Coast Guard issued versions of the EAME/PAC medal that had slot brooch. Very nice addition. I picked up one as well.

I finally found a slot brooch EAME. Arrived in the mail today.
