I have 3 SSI, all found together, should all be from 1968/69. I noticed that one tornado sweeps in the opposite direction. Is the change significant for some reason or just one of those things that happens? -

Good to know. I heard the acid in the original cardboard isn't great for it. But it's clearly a lot less destructive than any form of light. -

Riker mounts are excellent for viewing your items on display. If your looking to preserve it I would keep in it’s original box and in the dark. Any light could eventually fade out that ribbon. i had a terrible experience where my things were in rikers on display in a room that had no windows and was kept dark most of the day. The lighting in the room faded out several items. -

Battle of Bagsak Mountain, Jolo Island, Sulu Archipelago in Philippines. June 11-15, 1913. End of Moro Insurecution. Black Jack Pershing gets recommended for Medal of Honor, declines and gets Soldiers Medal. 1911 .45 "first" used. 8th US Infantry main US force I think. I had all the prints at one time. They used to be free. I don't the "main" character is the general. But what do I know what the artist was thinking. -

Thank you Patches! Awesome photos. I forgot about pocket patches. Probably should've known that's what they really are. And thanks for the additional information & confirmation that they're all of the period. I'm learning so much. -
