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.

Very nice, never seen any of those before.

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.

Veteran was 26 year Army veteran . He was in charge of removing the nuke weapons at a bse in Turkey so the base could be returned to Turkey.

Colors look like AF subdued. 

Doe anyone recognize this tag. It was in a display case at an US Army funeral? I have never seen it before
