My grandfather.  Staff Sgt George D. Jackson.  WW II. Started out a medic, finished Infantry Staff Sgt. His discharge papers are on my profile. I am very new here and new to this, so please pardon my ignorance. I'm trying to learn and piece things together.  He was in the 90th Division, Company E  359th Infantry.  I have his medals. (Except the ones he's wearing in both attached pictures and the "ruptured duck") I'm attaching a picture of the medals to this post. His discharge papers/medals all match up.  But there's a picture of him (also attached to this post) wearing wings? I think it's wings anyway. It's a photo he sent home. He wrote on the back of the picture. Anyone have any ideas what that would be? He wasn't a pilot.

That's an awesome looking knife there.  Love the damascus steel and I really like the shape of the knife.  It looks like it would fit in the hand wonderfully as far as retention and the I love the red, white and blue spacers that definitely add a special touch to the piece.  What's more as much work must've gone into the sheath for it to come out looking like it does, which is super nice looking as well.  Overall, spectacular in my opinion.  What kind of wood is that on the handle, out of curiousity?

Looking for some parts for the M4 and M6.     M4.........................Barrel retainer screw M4.........................Front sight M4.........................Front sight key M4.........................Front sight pin   M6.........................Hinge pin M6.........................Hinge pin retainer clip

Any help would be welcomed. His name was Edward H. Stephenson. Born in 1923. Enlisted 1-15-43. Serial number was 36419760. From Michigan. Thanks.

Thanks very much. I'll fix that pin.   Appreciate the help.   Dennis.

Here’s my Kutmasters The top one matches the op The second one has the same marking on main blade.  The third one has the same marking on main blade and has the MD USN shield on handle.  The fourth on is just a stockman
