PP, thank you again for the much needed part BZ! NG

Taking this in a different direction but had anyone here the opportunity of being at any Satern 5 Launches in the 1960's/70's. Especially, being closer than the public viewing areas.     

Hello Thank you for the help and information I really appreciate it Tony

Hello Thanks guy for the help I was just thinking it may have been a late 1920-30s piece for a reunion or such Wishful thinking lol Thanks  Tony

The suit is WW2 one. Great example, perfect for NAVY pilot/aircrew impression.    At the photo of your grandfather, looks like he is wearing khaki pants and a shirt. I guess he was an officer (pilot) not enlisted man (gunner)?   Cheers, Jerry

Hey guys, I've what I thought was a simple question but finding no confirmation just 2 opinion camps...are these kits US NARINE CORP or US MEDICAL CORP? Personally I thought Marine as most medical issue items I've seen (WW2) were MEDICAL DEPARTMENT marked. Your thoughts? Thanks

As the others have said,  dating these and placing them to a specific location in history is nearly impossible.    I have an unpublished midway submarine base photo album with photos of the bar area that is heavily decorated with presumably tender-made dolphins.  They were used during the period but also for many years afterwards.

I saw one of these lenses repurposed onto a piece of prototype molecular biology equipment.  The optics are obviously exceptional.

Thanks for the explanation. I wasn't aware of that.

Ha-ha....if I find any nice WW2 bayonets for sale at a gun show, flea market or at a widow ladies garage sale for $35, it's coming home with me 😀
