What year exactly did the US change their liner webbing design? I have a liner that looks later, but it has the WW2 style webbing.  Thanks! Wade

Thank you Herman for this identification.   I wonder how it ended up with this group.

I just read through all the comments on this post and I am going to agree with Allan H. If you are going to spend that kinda of money on a group like this you better know what you are buying. Now to the others issue at hand at least for me. I cant stand it when someone buys something and then someone says something could be post war and then gets mad and cancels their purchase. This isn't good buyer ethics especially if you have knowledge of what you are buying. Another thing to mention is technically the war in Europe ended in April 1945 so in a lot of people's opinions anything after April 1945 is considered post war. In my opinion post war is May 1945 to December 1946 however one can argue that post war is 1946 to 1950 at witch time the korean war started. But to say the seller is lying about it being Ww2 and everything isn't a good look.    But after all its your money so you can do as you please with it.   

If you are doing an Avenger aircrewman, either gunner or radioman, they were not officers, so did not wear khakis. Khakis would only be worn by officer pilots.

That's a really nice M-1. I can tell you really care about it. That's the most important thing.

If I were to drop big bucks on no-doubt-about WW2 airborne brass, I’d hold out for examples with the Meyer Metal /Shield logo.  

Hi all,      Is there any guidance or regulation regarding the use of SSI on Officer's dress blues ? Photographic evidence does not appear to be abundant. Can anyone provide photographic or other evidence that this was authorized ? Or is there some regulatory text ? Thank you so much     Kurt B    

Sorry I didn't read the entire post thoroughly, this guys mistake. 

Ha! Probably better that it doesn’t. Since they were used on top secret spy kinds of stuff, if it told you, it would have to kill you afterwards. 😁 mikie

Bronze insignia didn’t come to be until 1902.  The infantry insignia appears to be for an officer, as there is no company letter.  EM would typically have a letter below.  There appears to be a maker hallmark on the reverse?  What does it say?   That hunting horn is not the typical US infantry design.  Looks foreign to me.   The 14th Inf, Arty and ME are all collar insignia - 1902 to mid/late teens.  Cap insignia was screwback.  Pinback insignia was worn on the collar.
