I think its a m67 pin and the guy didn't know or it's a rare pin... either way iv gotta buy more pins to get the as mint as possible pin and spoon.. I think I'm close to having the number 1 worlds best grenade. They had the fuze professionally inerted but it has this odd pin and no stamp on the spoon... because of that now people question the pin and will not like the spoon not stamped.. it was my grandfather's from a ww2 factory he worked at so everything came from a real war time factory. I just have a good story no actual proof. 30 years from now if I give to museum they and others will question the pin and lever and I will regret not buying them 30 years ago.. who knows what the reals ones will cost by then if even available. Now that I know I need a raw metal one I'll have to keep my eye out... even if the pin is ww2 it's rare and hard for me to prove unless someone here can somehow come up with how it can be ww2. I'm trying for a world record number 1 ww2 pineapple grenade or top 3 in the world. If I find mint stamped lever and a mint pin no one can mark my rare ones as unverified questionable and I understand 

I came across this patch a couple months ago and still have been unable to ID it.  The Credible Chase program was to evaluate the use of light attack aircraft for use in Vietnam, namely the AU-23 Peacemaker and AU-24 Stallion in the early 1970s.  I have found two patches pertaining to this program, one being a joint US/Vietnam flag style patch and one specifically for the AU-23 Peacemaker.  I was thinking this patch related to the AU-24 Stallion, however it is giving me a security police vibe with the star.  I was wondering if anyone might have an ID on it?  Thanks!

Here’s one of mine from 1932. C catch.  I don’t know much about these metals, but the obverse on this metal looks a little different than most I have seen.   Is anyone able to look up the sailor?     

The slightly skewed insignia doesn't bother me. Remember they were making super cheapo Zippo knockoffs, not Porsches.

I would have it. Looks fine. Ichi-Ban !!!

Hello,     this came into the museum several years ago and I posted it in the wrong area of the forum... I am hoping someone can help confirm or even expand on the little research we have been able to do.    It is named to R. Wonders and came out of a very old collection in Michigan. We found an Ernest R Wonders of Elwell Mi who was in the 7th Marines in WWI not much else, and not really sure if he is our guy. Any help would be appreciated.      Scott

Will definitely keep you updated and I’m looking at pinpointers now lol. Thank you all for the awesome info
