That is a beauty. Great addition to any collection. Nice to see there are still such fine examples out there.

My pleasure!  Old altar boys never die,  they just outgrow their cassocks.   I never thought I'd see an an American Pope, did you?   If the White Sox start winning, we'll have to consider the possibility of Divine intervention.   😔    If you didn't already, you can add a friend that went to Loyola (LA) (St. Ignatius of) for grad school.  If you're ever out to S. Cal., it would be a pleasure to meet  you and break bread.   John 8:31-32.

Here is an acquisition from a recent local show. Really interesting badge and, to me, appears to be jeweler made. It is beautifully detailed, pin has pads, measures 2 7/8", no back mark. John 

Leigh- Thank you so much for this information. This is the only information that my family has besides what was passed down verbally. I do not know what all the designations mean but I can guess that M G is for machine gun.  If so, I guess what was passed down sounds correct.  If you could post more information when you have time, I would greatly appreciate it. gary

Am I really that old??? 😄  

Suzuki??

I think the windshield frame could be original, body is CJ2A it seems... I wonder what they used for a frame?

Say hi to John... Sorry we didn't catch up this year... Too busy as usual…
