Good morning forum, can anyone identify these early colt machine gun pinbacks for me. Are they sweetheart jewelry? or possibly something officially issued. Sorry about yhe low photo quality.  Had to do a picture of a picture.  Thanks, Gary

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone has 27th infantry regiment uniforms to show since it appears that they are very rare and there is very little on the internet that I could find    Thanks Alberto 

Very cool souvenir! My buddy was there in 2003 with the 1st Cav and sent me a bunch of souvenirs that he picked up. Paul

. Hi mikie,   Well you have my mouth watering, those glazed doughnuts are one of my favourites . . . . . . and a photo showing the tradition of handing out doughnuts during WWII, and a re-enactment at the Thruxton show in 1984   Over here the larger doughnuts in the supermarkets are more like a bread mixture inside and are terrible,  however the small mini ones that I showed previously really do have a soft squidgy doughnut taste to them and are delicious.   Just getting the bicycle out now,  to offset looking at the doughnuts you posted.         Norman D.

Hello, Is there anyway this Ike jacket can be identified due to the awards. Unfortunately it’s not named. Air Gunner serving with the Troop Carrier. Probably in England. Served in Europe with two battle stars Awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross Awarded the Air Medal 4 x    A log shot just thought I’d ask Many thanks     

here's a forum discussion about it.    

the M18 smoke canisters from the 40's and 50's were in an aluminum tin, making these at best Vietnam but probably later.

Hi everybody, I am from the Netherlands and have been researching and reenacting the 7th and 3rd Armoured for a while now. Recently I mixed this hobby with an older activity namely drawing.  I looked into it and found out that actual war artist did exist. And so I am looking into portrain an official US war artist correspond. How where their lives, what was their status among regular soldiers, what would they wear and for rank, unit and other signs and batches would they have? 

that pilots bag is really cool!
