I’m pretty sure I have a couple of the unpainted brown plastic buttons somewhere I’d like to post. I believe they are inside the cupboard in the corner. Unfortunately at the moment I can’t easily get to it. We are having the house interior patched and painted. The area in front of that cupboard has become a prime dumping ground for stuff moved ahead of the painting in progress from room to room. Packing and moving to a new office at work for the past week, only to come home and moving furniture etc around when I get home. All during a record breaking heatwave. I’m getting too old for all this 🥵.  I’ll post the button someday if I can ever get to it again 😊 mikie 

Sometime in the 1960's The exact date hasn't been found yet.

Seeking some opinions on a set of Army airborne wings.   I bought this small lot of badges/pins at a local estate sale a couple of weeks ago. They are not my area of expertise but the price was too good to pass up.   Are the Army airborne wings in the lot original? If so, can anyone tell me the era/timeframe they are from?   Thanks very much for any insight you may be able to offer. Pictures follow.   Dennis  

Awesome scrapbook find. Original bombing run and crash damage pictures during the ETO. Roughly 25 pictures in total. Several pictures of a B-24 are dated 6-6-44. 

Laverne & Shirley In The Army in the early 60s we suppose LOL, as the series begins in the year 1958. Wearing Liners Laverne's on the right looks like legit WWII or the early 50s Korean War made ones, while Shirly's on the left a mid 50s no front grommet type, albeit with both repainted a Semi Gloss Dark-sh OD.   In this 1979 episode the story is the girls tired  of not getting promotions and or raises at the Milwaukie Brewery they both work at decide to join the Army, but in Basic they find the Army's tough and not for them after all and pull  Corporal Klinger routines to get a 4F, which apparently succeeds and both go home and get their old jobs back LOL 

Welcome to this Forum. Also from Virginia. I’m sure you’ll have plenty of excellent assistance on here.

This grouping also included his Stillito with home/field made sheath and quillon cut down to the width of the blade.

1. Not sure off the top of my head 2. Those are the shortlived fully embroidered ones from the late 70s if I'm remembering right. You can find them in PO3 to PO1 as well. Not sure if chief ones were ever made though. I want to say no. 3. I think the anchor is for Midshipman if I'm remembering correctly but the spread oak leaf with 2 acorns is for the navy dental corps.     

You have a nice collection. The ones with the “Merrowrd Edges”, are from the the mid 1970s, to 1980. 

Nice pair of 3rd Armd Cav Regt Green Leadership Tabs, probably West German Made from the 50s-60s
