also maker and date is most likely stamped inside the belt loop

And found these as well.   Tomorrow is another day, my hopes are high.

Found this the same day     

These two photos Come from Wikimedia. We Can see others photos with a Google research. These flight gears and flight helmet are in Hanoï in the place where us POWs were detained in jail ( thé " Hanoï Hilton"). It's a museum now .   For thé museum , they belonged to the lieutenant commander john mc Cain who was shoot down in october 1967 ( us Navy a4 skyhawk pilot. VA 164 uss Oriskany ) In my opinion, most of them ( flight helmet/ oxygèn mask / survival vest ...) are usaf gears not Navy .    Any idea or explanation ?    Thanks  Arnaud     

I was very pleased to find this group to a member of the 533rd engineers.    The family had no idea where it came from.   I found 2 names in the group.   The unit emblem is by Disney, its hand painted and was cut out of a larger painted sign.    

I think this one’s a winner but I always like to ask, is this an authentic ammo pouch?

As you see - intact; good condition; functional press studs and zipper. With period applied rank chevrons.

I’ve only had one patch similar to this one that I found in the 1990s.   This patch came out of the woodwork today at a yard sale in a bag full of patches that had been collected years ago by someone in the family.
