Bravo Zulu, Matt!

Only just a little 🤣.  mikie

As long-time viewer/lurker and now a new member I have always been impressed with your willingness to help everyone and provide information as rapidly as you do.  You are an asset to the collecting community.  Well done, Sir!     Old Guy

You're welcome and thank you for the nice comment.  Always appreciated.

Matt so good to finally put a face to all the effort you have done for all of us on this forum, Thank you so much!!

Thank you all for your very helpful responses! I'm not a collector. This forum has been so helpful. I'd like to list all my stuff here after I get my 30 posts. I've learned value is between buyer and seller, but where to start? Would anyone suggest a ballpark number or min or max? And finally, any suggestions about how to parcel it out would be appreciated. All together, by caliber, by group of 50, etc.? Thanks again!

Maybe the lighting, it looked like that silver or nickel pot metal on the Bannermans pieces. If gilt, I would agree with the 1920 assessment. 

Woobie blankets, bribed an airman for one and ended up with a bunch of them in various camos. Two live permanently in the car along with a trauma kit and booboo pack. Various Mystery Ranch packs, often find a Strider folder on me somewhere too.    As for older green things? Various sun glasses, and a newly made A2 jacket.  You might find the odd 1940s Omega or an 70s-80s Seiko on my wrist :) 

I remember the New Columbia guy talking with people at Olustee in the early 80s, talking about how tough it was to handmake German stuff that looked production line made.

I use my old issue kneepads when doing lawn work, along with a repro Afrika Corps M41 hat due to the long bill. I also use a musette bag for lots of stuff.
