Parachute demonstration, Hawaiian Division       75th Service Squadron, Flight Section and Parachute Department Note: The detail photo is interesting as it shows either a native American or native Hawaiian and also what may be the oldest private in the Air Service (at right).  Also, it's commanded by pilot 1st LT Offutt who also commands the engineering section above. He may be related to 1st LT Jarvis Offutt (lost in 1918) namesake of Offutt Air Force Base.     18th Pursuit Group UNGUIBUS ET ROSTRO   HAWAIIAN DEPARTMENT

Okay gentlemen I am in need of some help. A nice gentleman has a knife from WW2 and is trying to locate the gentleman who it belonged to or his family to give it to them. I figured you guys were the best chance & offered to help him. All the info is in the pictures and he would GREATLY APPRECIATE any help since he’s been trying to do this for a while now. I thought this was an awesome act of kindness, so let’s help him please.      Scratched on the knife is: D. N. HUBBARD OCT 3, 1945 Lipa, Luzon Philippine Islands   Again any & all help is more than appreciated. Thank you, John and the gentleman’s name trying to return it is Mr. Roe.

John can you explain the horseshoe badge?  I have one similar at home I can’t get to right now to picture.   But mine is similar

Great job, specially near the bail and the name! It does look like it "disperses" the rust.   If you reapply it, please show more photos!

Agree with Kurt on this, get your money back 

I suspect that the wire hook and adjoining web tab were replaced later in its service life with WW2 production items.
