Hardened, not so easy to drill.  

Nice, how much are these? With how many you’ve picked up I’d imagine there affordable?looking into getting one possibly.

Hello I recently purchased a small group of items from a WW2 USAAF fighter pilot that was KIA in the pacific.  Included was a  Marksmanship Qualification Badge w/ Aerial Gunner Bar.  Would this be appropriate for a fighter pilot?   The badge is an unmarked pinback.   The wings are maker marked AMICO Sterling, and the clutchbacks are sterling. Thank you  

#7. Picked up this pair tonight. Looks good and like all the others... its complete. Meaning it has all its parts. Inner suspenders are intact.

I have one numbered 2237. I will post some pics when time permits. Ken

Well that didn’t go well. You folks with machining know-how will probably find this funny, because I must be doing something wrong. I tried drilling out the firing pin hole but my drill bits can’t bite into the weld.  I wonder if dynamite may work?  Is this picture “before” or “after”? It doesn’t matter, it looks the same either way.  mikie

Excellent and thank you much.  I have 4 of them just alike and they were loose packed with WRA69, RA70 ammo.  Good ammo and good cans too….:)  

Dave, that's a great group.   I use to own this group with a 6th class to General Stilwell's doctor.   It was missing a WWI DSC.   The Cloud and Banner is numbered 871.

Keep hunting the best is yet to come 

Those are very nice. I just bought another display form and can only hope to find examples like these to display.
