      1860 saber, cant see anything wrong with it.  Don't clean it unless it needs some preventative measures, but it looks nice as is.

      I would like to have your opinion on this bell with the inscription “Panna di San Pietro Roma” (Milk of Saint Peter of Rome) 1944 on one side, and a dairy cow on the other. It is made of 800 thousandths silver.

      @aznation Here's what I got. I don't know if it's reliable... :   Source and Identification Details My primary source for identifying Albert Charles Hauck comes from the "U.S. Navy Registers" (Registers of Commissioned and Warrant Officers of the United States Navy and Naval Reserve), which are official government documents published annually. Where does this data come from? The Register of Commissioned and Warrant Officers: This is the "official" Navy directory. For the 1944–1945 period, these registers list every officer (Active and Reserve) alphabetically. They specify rank, specialty, and date of promotion. These documents are now digitized and available via digital libraries like HathiTrust or Internet Archive. Fold3 Database (Ancestry): This is the most precise source for military personnel, compiling "Muster Rolls" (crew lists). By cross-referencing the name "Hauck, A.C." with the rank "Lieutenant," the name Albert Charles Hauck emerges as the strongest candidate matching this period and rank. Department of the Navy Records (Record Group 24): These U.S. National Archives hold the service records. Specific details found: Full Name: Albert Charles Hauck. Status: Officer in the United States Naval Reserve (USNR). Rank in 1944: Lieutenant (Junior Grade) or Lieutenant. Likely Origin: New Jersey. Note: An Albert C. Hauck born in 1913 in Newark, NJ, and deceased in 1993, perfectly matches the profile of an officer serving in 1944. Note: An Albert C. Hauck born in 1913 in Newark, NJ, and deceased in 1993, perfectly matches the profile of an officer serving in 1944.   Why are these sources reliable? The U.S. Navy maintained extremely rigorous records. Every officer had a unique service number. Because the name "Hauck" is relatively uncommon and the rank of Lieutenant significantly narrows down the list of candidates (compared to enlisted sailors), this identification is highly probable.

      I did not see your previous post which showed the back side with the Long Horns.   The TEXAS cap could very well be a decommissioning ball cap but it could be from a later reunion for shipmates.  I have one from the BOLSTER which I got at a reunion long after I was aboard her.

      OK, thanks for the explanation.  Just always wondered.

      Thanks Matt, yes lots of work, it's a fairly large size too. I like statue of liberty items too!

      Thanks for your answers. Looks the right person, indeed. @aznationMy mistake for the first ID, fact is, as I am not familiar with this type of research, I tried with AI and get this result, "based on consulting registers from US Naval Reserve". I have no more details, so I can not assess the reliability of this result, probably that was not a serious method (and that's also why I am here).   If August Charles Hauck is the right person, how can I proceed to look for his family or descendants ?

      I don't know why but I always liked CBI related items although I don't know as I have any.  Hey, but I can still like them though. :)
