Hi, Got one last week! I found pix from USS Iowa showing contact makers. I have alarm bell shown new in box from ‘44!

Both great uniforms and your detailed research is outstanding.  I've been the historian for Pershing Rifles for decades and have never seen the ribbon on the left, which clearly has the Pershing Rifles crest on it.  Perhaps he was on regimental staff.  The ribbon in the right is the pre-WWII Pershing Rifles membership ribbon.  Kevin

Cadet74 Posted 4 hours ago #1    Hello all, I had this in communications section. I am resubmitting it here: I am seeking a WWII submarine diving alarm contact maker, always green painted, star shaped version. I am attaching photos of representative examples. Knob is square or rectangular shaped. I already have WWII Sub collision alarm. Thanks

Any help would be appreciated, patch is about 3 x 3 inches and is on a 1977 G1 jacket. Google lens has not brought up anything  

Nice set up. I would like to get a battle station alarm. Being Boatswain mate of the watch on the bridge blowing the boatswain pipe and saying battle stations and hitting that switch for the alarm to go off was a blast even though most of the time it was just training.

When I got this watch, I notice a few things. It had the wrong second hand and was missing the dust cover. For some reason I could not see the Hamilton reprint stamp make on the dial. Someone at another forum thought it might be something funny with the dial. Well, when the watch was getting service and the correct hand was getting put on the lume fell off so my watchmaker had to relume it and sent me a photo of it. Clear as day the Hamilton mark. It was also missing a Hamilton dust cover I bought a parts Hamilton on eBay just for the correct dust cover. Should get it back next week. That wrong second hand bothered me glad to have it corrected.

That was one bored soldier! 

. Go with your memory and thoughts above what you see. !!!!!   A couple of nights ago I watched Spielbergs movie ' Munich released in 2005 ' I almost thought it was quite prophetic at the end of the movie to see the twin towers when the two lead characters meet in New York behind them is the New York skyline. I wondered how could this be the film showing the towers in place during filming in  2005, when the towers were actually destroyed in 2001.  I did a google search and Spielberg had deliberately had the twin towers  ' painted ' into the skyline as the story was set in the late 1970's.     Norman D.
