This was the insignia after 1955. The previous insignia is this one 

NM

Looks like early use of the M1903A3 rifle.  You can see the flat stamped bands and the 2 piece bands near the front sights. Handguards are too long for the M1903 rear sight. cool pix.

Hello everyone,   After years of half-assedly searching, I finally found a nice marine officer dress blue jacket.  I lucked into it at the Greely gun show earlier today for a pretty good price even tho it’s missing all of its insignia. I’m especially not looking forwad to paying for replacement EGAs, but I got to do it. I did a preliminary search online for the original owner, but couldn’t find anything other than an entry on Ancestry (couldn’t view it because I don’t have a subscription).  I’m hoping some of you charitable research experts might be able to give me a hand…. I ran the name tag through a couple photo filters to sharpen the printed text. Looks like 6/16/1942 with the name of Lieutenant R R Juby. Interesting last name no doubt.   

The flintlock is Turkish.

I put a lot of time into it.

Unbelievable! 

No not unless you have the dial unit.  The PBX sees a standard LB field phone as a constant off hook and will error the line out.  The dial unit has a hook switch that controls this.  The FF63 has two binding posts inside the cover.

What is the flintlock? Never seen one like it before

I put a lot of time into it.   Im going to the flea market tomorrow, who knows what will happen.
