      Hi Folks:  Recently picked  this strap and I'm trying to ID it.  Does anyone recognize this or could identify....a shot in the dark...came from US Army vet estate in a bag.   Thanks for looking

      CORRECTION:  The letters should have been JTF EMA (or it could be the other way, not sure).

      Yeah I thought from the shape of it that it might be Vietnam

      Hi all,   I purchased this coat earlier in Weston, West Virginia that named to Joseph F Riley and marked J.F. Riley in the sleeve. It is dated 1941-1942 and appears to have never had insignia sewn.    I have found two Joseph F Rileys who served in the Marine Corps. I would like some opinions on which Joseph Riley it could have belonged to.    One Joseph Riley served in the 1950s, quickly promoted beyond Private, and served throughout the 50s. I believe he was from Baltimore. I was unable to find his draft card to compare handwriting.    The other was a Weston, WV native who enlisted in January 1942, was overseas with by April with the First Marine Raider Battalion, and was killed in action by September 1942.    Attached are photos of the uniform and the West Virginia Riley’s draft card. To me, the writing is similar but not an exact match.    I would appreciate any thoughts on which  Riley this could be.    Thank you in advance!

      I hope someone can decipher the acronym JTS EMA for a COE patch for Orange County.  Thanks.

      I thought Highdomes didn’t exist post 1945 after the wartime contracts were finished?

      The shell was made by the Motor Wheel Corporation during the Korean War. It's a high dome shell.
