These pics usually have something written on them.

Here's another 'Turtle' insignia design from WWII that I'm currently researching. I'm hoping to locate WWII era images depicting this image in actual use; printed material, signage, etc. A photo of this design affixed to the side of a battalion vehicle would be outstanding. RW

You may want to double check on the Ft. Meade Museum. It's been closed for a while now. 

Really cool group!

Thanks Wake, this would make more sense based on the design imagery. I'll look into this unit more thoroughly and see if I can come up with some examples of this emblem in actual use. RW

Managed to find a couple of V.E. Day related items .

Unfortunately  the  ordnance museum and their field full of armored vehicles that was located at APG is long gone. The building has even been torn down. I really have some great memories of taking my boys to that museum. Therefore  I honestly had a tear in my eye sitting there looking at the empty field where the museum once stood.  With that said and with the little bit of research that I have done I have learned that Fort Meade actually played a significant roll in the early days of US Army armored units. There is also a museum on Fort Meade that is actually still standing and it opens for the season on May 17th. I believe that may be my best chance of possibly IDing the unit and location of the photo. Fort Meade is also only about a 40 minute ride or so from me straight down 95S. So I believe I may take a trip down there in the near future with the photo and hope I find some answers. I appreciate your comments.  Thanks! 

Seeing the collar disc are a no go and I can not I men that would indicate that the studio is still in business. Unfortunately I have attempted to contact the Maryland Historical Society at other times and they have never yet responded h to on my inquiries. I appreciate the information.   Thanks!   

Cheers,   found this tool case yesterday in Munich. One side has a code. Can it be identified? Thanks in advance!
