Looks good.

I picked up an WW2 EK knife with correct sheath for just under $150 that was improperly identified and had only been listed for about 3 hours on eBay.  And then missed an original Smatchet for less than $50 because I wasn't paying attention. And I, too, have seen common knives advertised for way more than their normal going price (I wonder if the person selling the over-priced item ever bothered to see that there were dozens for sale on eBay for way cheaper prices, and nicer too), reproductions advertised as originals, modern productions sold as WW2, etc. This also goes for military shows and particularly gun shows. Some of it is from ignorance, some of it from arrogance, and some of it is a rip-off.  Just par for the course, and nobody is forcing you to buy the stuff. 

I recently picked up this USCG jungle jacket with US Coast Guard tabs— I had never seen one before like this and thought I would add it to this excellent thread!   Michael      

This store is in Kansas City. They have an amazing selection of retail store fixtures, shelving and other display options. There is a variety of prices and sizes to choose from.   https://www.kc-store-fixtures.com

Hey all.  Got this from an auction recently. 

Agree with the comments above on originality and price…. the Marine served stateside during WWI and got out May 1919. 

I missed this the first time around.  Any service items to Black submariners during WWII are very scarce.  I highly recommend the book Black Submariners in The United States Navy for further reference.  Growing up I knew Magnus Wade, a former submarine mess man who also rose through the post war ranks.

Are these wings authentic ww2 ? 

Thanks, Bob... I had a hard time determining if it was British or US
