Hello Dan, Thank you so much for this very detailed and comprehensive research. It will allow me to learn a bit more about these veterans. Once again, a big, warm thank you, Dan. Have a great day. Laurent.

Hello I recently picked up a small group of items from a US Col.  This campaign hat was included.  It appears to be dated either 1930 or 1936.  It is in near mint condition.  Any concerns?  I have never come across a ww2 era dated one before.   I cannot quite make out the makers mark and other information.  If anyone can decipher it , please let me know. Thank you

Welcome back to the forum!

Excellent work as usual, Johnny!!!

Thanks for having me back I’ve been gone from the forum for ten years or more. Previously I had the user name ‘Noworky’ and collected saddles, sabers and accoutrements of the US Cavalry. I’m sure I’ll get into the swing of things again and enjoy the threads and maybe meet some old friends.

Thanks for the good comments. I have no idea who the maker is though.

Sounds like you really put your foot in it 😁.  mikie

"Possibly"a Communciations unit seeing as the Indian is sending smoke signals on the patch
