The case length and taper looks closer to a U.S. M19 90mm?

By the way I should have included, I'm currently trying to learn more about the m-47 fatigues, I picked up a pair yesterday and I think they're the genuine article, but need to confirm whether they're real or repro. Not many sources on them online!

Hi Scott,   So here's what I found.     Clarence H. Sauer 3-13-1896 - Was a Private in 8th Corps Artillery Park Arthur W. Sauer 12-9-1892 - Was in Company F, 162nd Infantry Charles W. Borchert 2-10-1884 - I couldn't find any military record on Borchert.  I also checked on middle initial G as well.  He would've been 33 years old or so in 1917.    Based on the information above I don't see how the 57th Pioneer ties into any of these gentlemen.  But wait...here's something interesting I just found.   https://www.schistory.net/campwadsworth/unitsnon.html#:~:text=6th Corps Artillery Park : Organized,of 1919 at Camp Wadsworth .   The following troops were organized or stationed at Camp Wadsworth, but were not a part of any division.  They were sent overseas and attached to whichever American Army or Corps most needed them.   Skeletonized New England National Guard Regiments Reorganized as Pioneer Infantry 57th Pioneer Infantry: Formerly 1st Vermont Infantry.  Arrived at Camp Wadsworth from Camp Greene on February 10, 1918, with 29 officers and 481 enlisted men.  Commanded by Colonel Fred B. Thomas and filled to wartime strength with draftees.  The regiment left Camp Wadsworth on September 23rd with 3430 officers and men.   Corps Artillery Parks Organized at Camp Wadsworth 8th Corps Artillery Park: Organized October of 1918.  Never sent overseas.  Demobilized in January of 1919 at Camp Wadsworth.   So maybe, just maybe because of the 57th Pioneer and the 8th Corps Artillery Park being at the same Camp Wadsworth might be the tie that makes Clarence H. Sauer the likely candidate of the owner of the 57th Inf ring.  At least that's who I'm going with unless someone else has a better idea.

Hello everyone! I've been collecting sporadically for years now, but have sort of narrowed my interests lately. No more European camos, not even very interested in Vietnam anymore, I mostly have a Korean War/interwar period fixation these days, but I'm still interested in anything wacky, rare or obscure-- ESPECIALLY Aggressor force, Circle Trigonist gear (I became aware of this about 9 years ago when I found one of the shade 255 soviet style tunics at a local goodwill)! I'm really excited to dive deeper, see some collections and learn more! 

Hi, I recently came across an interesting set used by the commanding officer of the 5th Marines in the early 1990s. I believe it belonged to Col. R. A. Gangle, who participated in the liberation of Kuwait and led rescue operations in Bangladesh in 1991. The set consists of a life jacket and a protective helmet. Unfortunately, I’ve only found a low-quality photo and very little information about his biography, except that he was Company D , 1/7 CO in Vietnam in the summer of 1966 as a first lieutenant.     Best Croc

Photos aren’t clear, it looks like a copy of a Paye & Baker wing.   See    World War One Weekly Wing #38- Paye and Baker of North Attleboro, MA      

This might be the actual plane. 

Hi,   Recently found at a flea market in Rome—who knows how this uniform ended up there—is Lt. Dennis Blankenship’s summer service jacket. A quick search revealed an impressive career as a non-commissioned officer, which explains his decorations, including the Silver Star. He reenlisted in the Marine Corps on August 29, 1961, and retired on August 1, 1988, with the rank of lieutenant colonel; Lieutenant Colonel Blankenship passed away on July 16, 2013. As a Staff Sgt, he served as Patrol Leader in May 1966 with the 2nd Platoon, 1st Force Recon Co (1st Lt J. P. Freitas) in Da Nang, then at Hue Phu Bai starting May 13, 1966, under the operational control of the 4th Marines. It was during this deployment that he was awarded the Silver Star for his actions on May 20, 1966. In 1972, as a Captain, he served as an advisor to the VNMC In 1982, during the operation in Lebanon, he served as S3 of the 32nd MAU (2/8 HMM 261) with the rank of Major. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find his other assignments as an officer in the late 1960s—which might explain the presence of his jacket in Italy—nor have I been able to find any photos of him. Best, Croc
