Hello.  I purchased this excellent early American dirk recently.  It has gold wire knots/tassels attached to the scabbard rings still.  Has anyone here run across these knots on an early American dirk before?     Any info would be appreciated.  Thank you.       --Matthew Brice  

Hello Everyone, I need some help determining if this 1920’s Naval Aviation Observer’s Wing is genuine or a reproduction.  It is gold colored, it is marked “STERLING” and “AMICO”, also has a “C” clasp.  The reverse looks rough to me.  I’m thinking reproduction.   If this is a reproduction what would a value be.  Thank you for your assistance.   Semper Fi, Bruce Linz

Hello!    I’m new to the forum… seeking some experience from yall. I dig for antique bottles, and occasionally I find a unique piece of militaria.     Looking to see if I can find any information on this service member, or info about the tag itself. It appears to have belonged to Sgt Kenneth D Goodrich, 2nd Cav Troop H. I haven’t been able to find anything on Sgt Goodrich, so I requested a 214 equivalent.    Is it safe to assume May 5 1 is an enlistment date of May 05 1901? The pit was early 1900s, for context. 

I found this today. Curious how many metal flags go in the kit?              Matt R

Thank you for the get back. I posted a couple more photos of the pistol and mags. I looked at the magazines and the mag in the pistol has Colt 45 Auto and the other mag as C- L on the bottom. The pistol has never been re-blued and has been kept in a gun safe since 1996.
