For insurance value (not what the items would sell for at auction): - Distinguished bombardier made by Rock Island Arsenal - $5-6000 - Sterling silver wings with gold US overlay, unknown maker - $2,500 - 3,000 - Air trophy - this would take more of a survey of like items and their sales records, more research into the tournament and the weight of silver in the object - TBD   However, this is all part of an archive, so you would be best to insure for the entire collection of his items. The photos by themselves are not considered high value as objects but would be worth more as part of the total archive.    I am not a professional appraiser. These are only estimates. The ones I have a better grasp on are based on current market examples. Only for discussion purposes.    Cheers, Tod  

the ring on the pendant is not correct, It should not be round, The ribbon has been replaced. Is it numbered on the edge?   Kurt

It does appear to have been Re-Ribboned at some point along the way. That would be my assessment, plus as Blacksmith pointed out above, the Ribbon Drape does appear somewhat too long ?                      Dom P.

Shell paint is original WWII, but the "POPE" and yellow band look like modern additions to me.

Nice, I've gotten two of them at a trift store for a dollar apiece. I drink hot chocolate and tea out of mine . 

Zipper is a fake patina reproduction. I doubt doubt Buzz or RM would use that type of zipper. This is likely an asian repro. I hope it's your size because it would be a good coat to wear. 

I am out of likes but this is amazing. That is a life size knitted paratrooper????  AND she is knitting a life size jeep?? The hours it must take!   How are her hands?    Are you going to try to take the jeep home? I am sure that is something you do not have in your shoebox. 😂😂😂   ..Kat

Aviation Boatwain's Mate buckle:  

This "war" / "not war" discussion is political.   Everything you stated in your last response to a forum member is based on one political side of the story.      I do not want to get into a political discussion on here. Just suffice it to say I disagree with your response. I believe this thread needs to be closed.    IMO this is not a discussion on military tactics....

That looks like a retirement fund in a pile
