I have my Dad's 1944 drill press that I use regularly. And his 1945 US Army air compressor that doesn't work so well anymore.

Here is some info I located on them:   Note: the service numbers you provided are for their enlisted time; as officers they are: Albert Bivings O-433453; Yancey Bivings O-453301   Albert E. Bivings:   Enlistment Record   Air Corps Air Cadet in Texas:   Having graduated at some point as a pilot (looks like he flew transports, e.g. C-47s), he was on his way to England from NY [ATC= Air Transport Command]:   In England [USAAF Sta 482 = RAF Balderton]:   He moved to RAF Ramsbury and joined the Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron 437th Troop Carrier Group there.   MOS 1930 = Combat Liaison Officer; not sure about 2320   Summary of his service from the American Air Museum in Britain:     Yancey Bivings:   Enlistment Record:   It appears that he was a Sergeant in Co C 2nd Engineer Battalion (2nd Infantry Division) and was sent during Oct 1941 to the Engineer Officer Candidate School at Fort Belvoir, Virginia [I believe this explains the photo you have of him as an enlisted man with a 2nd ID patch]:     He must have successfully completed OCS, as he was a Captain in the Headquarters and Service Co 1313th Engineer General Service Regiment (Colored) during Aug 43 [CE = Corps of Engineers]:   In Aug 44 he was in England, assigned to the Headquarters 9th Army, having come from the Southern Base Section (also in England):   He was in Holland during Dec 44 and reassigned to the 252nd Engineer Combat Battalion. This engineer battalion was a non-divisional 9th Army asset. For more background on the battalion, see here: https://army.togetherweserved.com/dispatches-articles/93/1014/Distinguished+Military+Units%3A+252nd+Combat+Engineer+Battalion   It appears he also served during the Korean War as an engineer with the 24th Infantry Division:   Dan

I bought it in Pattaya last month, but I think these badges are fake, so I'd like to ask you all for help in identifying their authenticity

The correct ones. Good Colt. 

Ha!  I love the Twilight Zone!!  :)  Watching this tonight  :)  

I have a WW2 teeny weeny punch press at my shop my Grandfather bought after WW2, US Ord Dept tags all over it. Gonna restore it eventually and move into my office. I'll get pics tomorrow. Thanks for the post Robin!

Hello Martin.  I absolutely love this forum and as a new collector 25 years ago I was on it regularly studying the knives and posts.   Now it's my turn to help other collectors benefit from it as I did.  Thanks a million for starting it!!

Not an unfinished emblem. My guess is theres a  big blob of old solder on the inside of the globe as those emblems were incredibly prone to the screw post breaking off. 

Had been watching this beautiful A-X Test Team patch all week, if I could get it for a good price I was considering an upgrade for mine which is a little salty. Did not expect it to go for $318! Congrats to the buyer though because this really is a lovely example.

Thank you Ron. This is a huge amount of money for me. I have always hesitated to buy guns I have never touched before. And found that taking a day and getting other opinions always gives me a little more peace of mind.   I have had some people point out things I have not seen before.
