Jeep Guy, For starters, you need to show a picture of the panel unfolded as these things tend to deteriorate and the "signal side" flakes apart. I have had several of them over the years and that should help you with value. A word of caution...be very careful opening the "lift-a-dot" fasteners as they will rip through the canvass. I have always used a "butter knife" to facilitate opening the snaps. OD -

Most 5th AAF Silver Stars awarded over in Australia in 1942-43 are in the 14K range, but I have never seen a number list for them. Kurt -

This looks like a good wing to me. I don't see a sterling mark so maybe gold on brass. It does look like a raised Meyer shield on the back of the caduceus. -

I was told when I acquired this flask that it was purchased in England during WWII by the original owner who was stationed there. I can't verify this so if you know when it was made let me know. Also value please. -

Says that his first time under fire was December 7th 1941 at 7:55am and the records of his time in the army says he was a radio operator and eventually reached the rank of chief warrant officer. I can't really read cursive well so if you notice anything let me know. Also any idea on the value of this item. -

OMG General! It was the same here in the States! You would hear about a scrap yard 3 hours away and drive just to pull parts that you would need to restore a Jeep. There were no reproduction parts! I remember getting up with my brother and Dad at 5 AM to drive that distance just to grab a set of "top bows" and pull a set of "F" marked side handles. You had to go remove them yourself! Plenty of WD-40 and busted knuckles. There weren't "Jeep part dealers" back then. Heck, my Dad bought a medium weight sewing machine to make to the seat cushions out of WWII shelter halves. I find your 4th picture absolutely fascinating to me. Obviously, they were working on stabilizing the steering column. This is another example I have seen, and they are few and far between. My current '42 Ford also has a similar period done modification. I love this thread! OD PS. Everyone knows Hayes, we discovered his WWI tank at Viking Scrapyard.
