I will of course have to get my materials. I will in time, I'm just unsure when. Gotta love being a broke teenager!!

Usually UCV items are marked UCV.  There are always exceptions.  I believe it is a novelty or souvenir type item.  It does in my opinion have age to it.     

I don’t know … very interesting.

Okay gentlemen I need help again. This knife has the Kingston MADE IN USA tang stamp & looks very similar to the late WW2 knives. EXCEPT it has a short screwdriver and a sharpened can opener (which I believe was also on the 1948 Ulster). Can anyone help date this knife? I am figuring it was made shortly after WW2 out of parts. It was advertised as a WW2 knife. It’s in excellent condition.  Thanks for any help, John

Hi Ron. You are one regiment away from Dad’s. He was in the 106th on Saipan. The 27th Division seemed to have widely used camouflage painted helmets. I’ve never been able to find much information on the why and how. If anyone has the story, please post about it.  mikie

What is the time frame for this NNC hat pin. The only marking is Sterling.

A great group indeed! Thank you for sharing.   Fred

Rest in peace-may he never be forgotten.

Love this one still after all of these years
