The Halo/Scuba patch was also made in Korea.  For my last trip to Korean in 1982 when I was with the 7th, we were housed in barracks before returning to Fort Bragg that had a tailor/embroidery shop next door and someone had the patches made up before departure   Also, the quality was better.

917601,   Thank you very much for the links and your help here!  Good stuff.  It does appear that this round is missing that 2" brass section.  The round head is actually solid steel, and I will try to take some better pictures under natural light if needed.  This was literally the only "military" item that they had at the sale, and I had to ask for it and it was in the garage.  I don't collect anymore but enjoy looking for "stuff".  As is, what do you think it would be worth?   Thank you again!   OD

Looks like a swim team/club pool patch to me. Not exactly a lot of water around Mt. Home...   Randy

Excellent example. As noted in the comments above by manatee, I would also add that one of the typical tales of Bailey Banks in Biddle manufactured peace is the detail with which the enamel work is executed. You’ll notice the framing of the stars is very crisp and detailed. The enamel work is in inside the framing of the star with no bleed over. 

Great Job Matt! And Blacksmith is correct 139th!

Thanks, this was the one I was thinking of.   https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/attachments/ww1-allies-great-britain-france-usa-etc-1914-1918/877914d1441096340t-u-s-m-1917-m-1918-trench-knivesa-yes-just-wooden-handled-ones-scabbard-3.jpg

Hi fellow collectors,   What is your opinion on this 101st Airborne Division patch? The tab looks to be a correct WW2 example but the eagle seems a bit off for a WW2 piece. Any info on what era/type the eagle would be and if it is even real would be appreciated. I am looking forward to your opinions.     Kind regards,   Robert

Greetings Collectors,   I've just completed another update on my website www.combat-relics.com   Please stop by and check it out!   Sincerely, Steve

Attached is a CS buckle that I recently picked up in a large collection of military items.  I know next to nothing about Civil War items but from looking at some CS buckle posts, it seems that they’re all fakes/repros, often meant to deceive.  That being the case, I assume this is a repro too but I want to make sure before I part with it as a repro.  Any thoughts would be appreciated!
