      I’ve been pouring over this forum and pictures I’ve found online trying to find out exactly what units marked/painted their division on their helmets. The best I can tell are the 26th,35th and 33rd divisions. I’ve found there might be evidence of the 80th and 7th divisions but I can’t find out for certain on those two. Are there any other units that did before the armistice? Thanks

      I think there may be a large wrench buried somewhere at work. I’ll try to find it on Monday. Holding the barrel down is the challenge for me.  Since this is a dummy wall hangar, I’ve considered possibly doing some kind of surgery. But prefer to be nondestructive if I can.  mikie

      I have never seen a CS copy of an Enfield.  That being said, they could have turned out a few samples.  It could be.  I have a CS made sword that I think is a 'sample' model. If your bayonet is, it is incredibly rare.  This scenario did cross my mind.  But since I have never seen one, I ruled it out.  I will admit I am not a bayonet expert but have seen many, owned a few, and sold a few.  Not many will be qualified to make a call on this.     A specialist will need to see this.  I would suggest maybe Old South Military Antiques.  Shannon is very knowledgeable on CS made items.  I had an interaction with him in person recently.  I would start there.  Good luck.  If it is assessed as CS made, it is one for the books!  Please keep us posted!

      Here's a Jane Fonda patch I found at a yard sale last year for fifty cents....The father fought in Korea and I believe he said his son was in the Navy during Vietnam....He had a stack of miscellaneous patches for the same price and I kicked myself for not buying the lot, but I'm hoping this one is an old original VN era patch....Bodes

      I have pictures of the Ike....A friend who runs a body repair business is nice enough to take pics for me, but I'm always concerned with abusing the privilege...He took them almost a month ago and he finally sent them...One day I suspect I will have to become a member of the 21st century...Bodes

      I found these pretty Ww2 Shooting badges at a antique store today. Dose anyone know what year or model the first one is ? It marked sterling on the back of both top and bottom pieces. Also what would the 2nd one before ?

      Yeah, the awards are kind of close if you can account for a missing DSM, two missing SS, an incorrectly placed olc on the BSM, and a missing olc on the PH. Oh, and an incorrectly placed AM. Otherwise, it's a perfect match... :)
