Here's the show flyer for the upcoming Des Moines, Iowa Military show: April 17, 18, 19, 2026. Held in conjunction with the Trade Show Productions Ltd. Gun Show in Des Moines, Iowa. All information is shown on the flyer. I hope to see you there. Thanks, Alan      

Just got these yesterday and today. The first one is a member of the 11th airborne and is wearing a swing cap. The second one is a photo of a soldier named Herbert or Carter 1943 and it shows him on a motorcycle, he is also wearing a tank destroyer battalion patch as well. The last one is a soldier who is wearing a tanker jacket with an armored division patch but I’m not sure which one it is. That one is dated January 14, 1945. I’m not positive, but I believe the tanker is stateside I’m assuming?

Hi Kurt   But embroidered where?   Phill

If your interested Ebay has a few vendors selling replacement grips, most if not all, faithful  reproductions.

Got a buddy whose grandfather was a bomber pilot in the Air Force for 35 years. Longer than my age times 2!!!   Wade

earcups came in today and I have them wired so that everything would be ready for speakers foam inserts and ear seals.

got a banana mounting plate in and only cost me $75  that was the cheaper option versus paying almost $400 for one with the Anvis 6/9 mount but if I manage to find one for less than $200 then I might buy that and put it on the banana mount. I will also need to buy a Step in visor if I want to display it with the mounting plate on the helmet. The mounting brackets came from Flight helmet for the banana mount which came in with the nape strap and the J plate for the 4708 helmet cord.

A Rank of Old Timers pose at their vessel's airplane, Chiefs All and Right Sleeve Rank wearing men.   USS Philadelphia, a  Brooklyn-class Light Cruiser. The Airplane we assume is not the Seagull Biplane, but the Kingfisher if so then photo dates after 1940, as Kingfishers start Fleet and Shore issuance in August 1940, so maybe photo is summer of 1941?
