This uniform belonged to a Navy WAVES who served at Camp Detrick from 1943 to 1945 as a Microbiologist. I'm still conducting more research but I thought this would be a really interesting uniform to integrate into my unique uniform displays.    I am currently looking for an orignal WWII Type 1 WAVES tie and possibly white gloves if anyone has any leads.    Thank you for your help and stay on the lookout for a write up of my research coming soon!   Blake 

Your shop reminds me of Scotts old shop in Tosa just a tad bit bigger. Easily worth a trip to MKE

Just because it was handy.      

Steiner family from Switzerland, changed to Stoner to sound more English.     W 

For my first post I present the following. Recently received a Camillus USN Mark 2 Knife:

I agree with Bearmon, looks like a nice period example. There were two slightly different versions of this patch produced but I am not sure what the back story is to why they were made differently.

Stoner could qualify for that "I hate my name" thread.  Or maybe love his name, depending on where his head was at. 

I have always liked this patch design. I think these are more souvenir/novelty rather than attributable to a specific unit. For years I tended to think of them being primarily worn by members of Air Force but earlier this year I picked up a small set of patches attributed to a Navy pilot that included a similar example. 

I know it's going to be tough to find, but if anyone reading this post has a spare original Case V-42 stiletto sheath/scabbard for sale?,  I have an original V-42 but got it in an auction w/o the sheath, and it would be nice to have it among the knife. Thank you! 😃
