First looks at a side project. Bravo 6 figures with a slight change: I removed heads with boonie hats and replaced with berets. I really wanted to show off soldiers wearing their green berets. also added John Wayne Green Beret for fun. no fighting dinosaurs this time, though.

In my opinion, the WW2 belts are fairly common. The pre-war belts are scarce and usually go for a lot. Tim  

hi, folks what is the best way to identify a possible time period for a five button sack?  

Thank you, I feel stupid wasting your time on that medal, I should have done that quick search and deduction myself regarding armed service medal. Thank you again.

They are pretty cheap and sadly underrated in my opinion, I’d go for the one in the 2nd image if I had a choice. They display nicely and often look pretty good as a plinth for gear and uniforms. Don’t over pay though, a lot of dreamers asking wack prices but plenty about for sure.    Always worth checking out though when you come across them, I’ve picked up two of the medical chests and medical type with a folding table under the lid that look pretty similar to the early chests at first glance.       

hello, Nice group and I wish I could help more.  But the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal was created in the 1960's.  So this medal was added along the way, If I died tomorrow a house cleaner could find several medals lying about... some would be mine, some would not be mine. Anyway.... nice group!   Here is the Wikipedia excerpt:   The Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal (AFEM) is a military award of the United States Armed Forces, which was first created in 1961 by Executive Order of President John F. Kennedy. The medal is awarded to members of the U.S. Armed Forces who, after July 1, 1958, participated in U.S. military operations, U.S. operations in direct support of the United Nations, or U.S. operations of assistance for friendly foreign nations.

hello, I once had an early 1830's Mexican button dug in a California gold camp.  This button looks earlier.  I would guess around 1820's.  It could have been a Mexican War souvenir and brought here and lost.

The ruptured duck was inspired by Roman art. I'm sure someone just took a coin or a drawing of a coin and made the die using that inspiration. 

$125-150

I miss the old army surplus stores. If you dug you never could tell what youd find. Buying bdus online is a crap shoot never knowing what youd really get
