Here's my collection, I sold most modern pieces, kept the ones I like.

I’m kidding, but I believe I have seen your videos before welcome aboard officially 😀

I know the channel, I’ll post a link for other members to view.

Thank you very much, I believe this coat was issued while overseas as the contract date if I remember dates it to June of 1918. It also has some small field repairs so I’m guessing this was a coat he wore pretty late war and during the occupation. Also my first ID’d uniform. I really like this set.

The Tiger Bde was based at Ft Hood, as part of the 2nd Armored Div.   The posted patch is a not too old paki-made creation.  I’ve never seen an original worn patch of this design.    When I was in the 2AD in the early 80’s, the only place I saw this insignia was on a large sign outside the HQ building.  

Lately I've been looking at my collection and thinking to myself, what have I done? And what am I going to to with all this stuff?   Justin

I just realized I have never introduced myself, even though I have over 130 posts and have been on this forum since September.  Anyways. Hello. I am Levi, though I go by my last name, Wade. I have been collecting militaria since I was 10. I live in Central Minnesota, USA. When I was 11, I dug a foxhole in my backyard and started a YouTube channel where I post WW2 reenactment videos. Please, don't try to find it. It is pretty bad.  My main focuses are WW2 and Vietnam, but I do sometimes collect the 1980s era gear or other military gear that crosses my path (as long as it's cheap).  I have no main area of expertise. I do speak Spanish fluently (I've been learning since I was maybe 5), a little bit of German, and a TINY amount of French.  Thank you all for all the help given,  Wade. 

A very nice pattern 1918 service coat, and with composition buttons, too.

What is amazing is that anybody would accept that a patch with a black back with a matching black twill backing as being WWII is beyond me.   I don't get it......   -Ski

I am still missing some things for this though, such as a victory medal, some Collar brass, a good picture of him. He’s like a ghost, you just can’t find him!
