Good Evening Gentlemen, I picked this uniform up relatively recently and just wanted to share it here. It is the uniform that i believe belonged to Michael W. Liskiewicz, a member of the 106th cavalry group, the uniform was purchased by a dealer from his estate however reading through the 106th cavalry group book I do not see any mention of his name. There is another name "Dunn" written on the inside of which there are 2 Dunns in the 106th cavalry group. Assuming however that this uniform was in fact Mr. Liskiewicz' he was taken prisoner in December of 44, released in October of 45 and appears to have transferred to the Austrian occupation force after his release which does seem to coincide with alot of members of the 106th, either way it is a very nice ike with an in country made 106th SSI and I'm happy to be its new caretaker. As always if anyone has comments or further information I would be happy to hear it. Many Thanks, Will -

My first ship was the USS Proteus AS-19. I sometimes look for stuff from ships I been on. And saw this coffee cup I guess Capt. Foster passed away and his stuff was sold. My Captain was a few past Captain Foster figured someone from the same ship should own it and I bought it. And I will use it in the morning for coffee. -

I just came back from an antique store, and am pretty happy with my finds. My first item is a WWII CBI (China-Burma-India) uniform. I notice that he has an USAAC patch but his collar brass is from the army corps of engineers. Maybe he was moved after serving in the USAAC? anyways, I like the bullion on it and I find it really nice. Next is a fairly small lot from a pilot who served in Vietnam and Korea. -

As a caretaker of correspondence I have been wanting to share this for some time. Not quite sure of the context. I have done the research and some of the soldiers remains have since been located and recovered. May not be easy to read, if that's the case I will try to upload Hi-Res pics. Thanks for your interest. -

Unofficial and non-regulation, I think. They called things like this morale patches these days. -

Sorry to open this old thread, but I noticed that my Milpar M7 has these brown grips. I've had this M7 for several years, but there's no telling if these grips are original to this bayonet. Here's a photo next to an M7 with black grips and the numbers underneath. -

Just curious. Obviously, the handguard has to be modified, wasn't sure if the stock needed mods too. -
