The pic is of a sentry dog and handler at NATO site 59, likely the 110th mp co. Anybody have a picture of the pocket patch? couldnt find anything similar online

I purchased this photograph because it's an early territorial photo of what I believe to be a First Oklahoma Regiment Infantry officer.  This photo is unnamed.   In 1899, the Oklahoma National Guard was reorganized as the First Oklahoma Infantry Regiment, supported by a signal company. In 1903, an engineer company was added. Federal allotments to support the troops would later double and the Territorial legislature voted to expand support in money and men. With statehood, in 1907, the Territorial status of the Oklahoma National Guard came to an end. Units were moved from western Oklahoma (former Oklahoma Territory) to eastern Oklahoma (former Indian Territory), and a hospital unit and two cavalry troops were added. Before World War I the guardsmen were used by Gov. Lee Cruce (pictured left) to combat illegal boxing and horse racing operations and liquor- and blue-law violations.             Guthrie, Oklahoma was the first capital of Oklahoma. It served as the territorial capital from 1890 and became the first state capital when Oklahoma was admitted to the Union on November 16, 1907. The capital was moved to Oklahoma City on June 11, 1910, following a statewide election.  Oklahoma City is 32 miles straight south of Guthrie. Today, Guthrie is known for having the largest contiguous Historic Preservation District in the nation, maintaining its late 19th-century architecture.

Hope to make it there this year.  I couldn't last year.  It's nice it's in OKC as I live right in OKC.  I look forward to going.  Thanks for the heads up.

No freaking way! He was born in Elmira NY,  that's my home town! I just happened to find this on ebay, that's insane! Many thanks to you!

I remember seeing a video of Guadalcanal Santa floating somewhere around one of the reenacting Discord servers I'm in...   Looks like fun!   Wade

This is a rather interesting piece. It appears to be a Korean War era M1936 pistol belt with a large gap between the female buckle and the ink stamp. Its marked "USMC" on the front with no snap for an ammo pouch. The manufacture stamp is too faded to read what it says, but the baby monitor trick could be a solution. If anyone has any idea as to what exactly it is, that would be much appreciated. I found a similar one on a website for sale but have found no additional information. This belt is also named to a "VALACROIX." Anything is helpful, and I can provide more photos if needed!   Thanks,  Hayden  

Good evening.  I'm hoping you guys can help me. I bought a small collection of items over the weekend; medals, wings, insignia, uniforms, etc. One of the wings in pile was a Firmin Technical Observer wing. I wasn't sure about it when I was looking at it as I couldn't find many examples online to compare it against. It’s not cast, shows some wear some (you can see what appears to be brass showing through on a couple spots on the “O”) and the pattern seems correct.  It’s got a different catch than the few examples that I can find online.  The hallmark isn’t obliterated, but it isn’t mint either.  I’m curious to see what you guys think.  Frank

What is interesting in this picture is the officer on the right is wearing the large 9th Infantry Regiment belt buckle.
