Makes sense, Thank you

I recall when the unit was activated at Ft. Wainwright in 1972. I was assigned to the S2/3 section of the installation HQ, and there was activity to have some range area prepared for the Cobras to use.

Yes on Male doctors and Psychiatrists (also doctors).   US Army officers (which included doctors) wore the standard officer uniforms.  Army officers (Navy, too) had to procure their own uniforms.  There were field uniforms which looked mostly the same as enlisted field uniforms and dress uniforms, which were somewhat similar to enlisted, but different.  There are plenty of books and websites you can search for the styles and  nuances of the various types of uniforms.    Start here: https://www.usww2uniforms.com/news.html  

The mythical and mysterious Oozlefinch is the mascot for Coast Artillery and Air Defense Artillery.

US patches made in Canada, never  heard of that.

Very nice items.   Lived in Harrisburg for 30 years and never made it to the Reading Show but did volunteer work at the museum.   Is the Oozelfinch like a Distlefink?

Group,   Below is one of the 1000 Smith & Wesson Model of 1899 U.S. Army issued revolvers chambered in 38 Long Colt (not 38 Special).  The U.S. Navy also purchased 1000 Model 1899 revolvers as well.  This model is sometimes referred to as the Model of 1899 Army-Navy revolver.  This revolver represents the start of the famous K frame size for S&W which has been the most prolifically sold revolver in the world and it is still in production as the Model 10.  One of the main differences between the 1899 revolver and its successors is the fact that the ejector rod does not locking into the barrel.  After approximately 20,000 of these were made, S&W introduced the locking lug design with the 1902 Model.     This particular revolver, 13037 was shipped on April 2, 1901 to the Springfield Armory for the United States Armory.  You will notice that the revolver has the K.S.M inspection stamp on the barrel, frame, and right grip which stands for sub-inspector Kelly S. Morris.  The grips bear the 1901 inspection mark of JTT which stands for inspector Capt. John T. Thompson.      

Thanks!  They are, to be clear just in case, two separate patches from two separate deals!  I just stuck it under there for the photo.   Although the 306th did have several reserve tank battalions that were supposed to be heavy/120mm gun units, they may have seen an M103 at annual training but usually did their training on 90mm tanks from the limited reports available (and the 306th's regimental history).

Very cool!   I don't recognize this multicolor flash (2nd flash in post). Do you know what unit it belongs to?

I talked with some local gwot and modern gear/uniform collectors. They said this is the only one currently documented known to publicly exist. Im sure more are out there but until another one surfaces this is the only known example. I looked everywhere too and could not find another existing one. Some of the collectors said if they had to guess only about 5 to 10 are known to exist.  Another was saying probably more like 12 to 15. Obviously no way of knowing how many actually survived. A majority of the ones made probably ended up getting destroyed by the military. I should also explain in better detail about how mine was saved instead of just giving the short answer. I do know the full story i just didn't originally go fully into it. The marines one day were going around the MARSOC teams and collecting old uniforms to be shredded up and destroyed. They had 2 huge bins full of uniforms. The Det 1 and MARSOC guy that wore this combat shirt decided he didn't want it anymore, so he threw it away in one of the bins. The navy SARC guy told me, before the marines sent the bins full of uniforms off to be destroyed. He dug through the bins and saw the G1 shirt sitting there. He didn't want to see it get cut up and destroyed so he kept it and brought it home once his enlistment was up. Thats the full story instead of the half fast version. I made it seem like he threw it away in the local dumpster which you can't do on base (you definitely aren't supposed to, I'm sure some guys broke protocol and did anyway).
