My collecting focuses are mainly in firearms, edged weapons, ordnance, uniforms, patches, and Helmets. So a little bit of everything:)

The plan is to call here tomorrow when it’s not the middle of the night for OK, hopefully this department has some info ( it’s county historians apparently) on the arrows. I couldn’t find any elders or spiritual leaders of some kind, so this is the next best thing. I’ll keep you posted on what I find. I still don’t know how to find his unit. I’ve gone through so many differing sites and when I’m right there it makes me pay. Which is pretty frustrating. I’ll keep working at it though…

May I ask how you can tell?

Thankyou Sir, I appreciate the insight, 

It’s unfortunately a repro.   Synthetic threads 

Hey welcome to the forum! Do you have any specific collecting focuses in mind? Firearms, patches, gear, ordnance, uniforms etc? Either way I’m sure you can find whatever you need here on the forum and everyone is willing to help👍

Hello, I am new to this sort of thing and I was wondering if anyone could help me determine if this patch id authentic or not.    Respectfully, Will

Just to update this thread.    Attached is a picture of 5 dimple back, aka likely restrike, disks.

I am a novice collector with a small but decent collection which currently consists of a Reeves 30 cal ammo can, an M1 Garand bayonet, a M1916 holster, a few 5 round stripper clips and 2 boxes of German WW2 8mm mauser ammunition. I plan to grow my collection over time and any advice on what to look for in a legit relic would be awesome.

It is starting to look much better! I have an WW2 M1916 holster made by Warren Leather Goods that looks a little rough, could really use dome TLC and confitioning
