One I've been chasing for a while. Troop E, 114th Cavalry from the 69th Infantry Brigade. Made up of Kansas (and Iowa for the mobilization) National Guard, the brigade was called to active duty and assigned to the 5th Infantry Division at Fort Carson. Many individual personnel then went to Vietnam themselves. Troop E was ultimately reassigned to the divisional reconnaissance 4th Squadron, 12th Cavalry to temporarily replace their Troop A which had gone with the 1st Brigade to Vietnam. The ghost of the 69th IB patch is visible under the red diamond and of course there's an armor triangle on the chest. 114th Cavalry did not have their own DI at the time and as seen in the contemporary newspaper photo below wore the 69th Infantry Brigade HQ DI and pocket patch. Troop E was from Manhattan and McPherson, KS. -

Just a question for @larkworthy If you don't mind me asking I noticed all of your posts are about S&W Victory pistols. Are all of them in your collection? If so, that's wonderful. I love looking at all of them. I've always wanted a S&W Victory pistol but I know next to nothing about them so I'm not going to just randomly purchase one just to have one. Maybe one of these days I'll come across one that's in awesome shape and pony up for it. Keep up the great posts. I like them. Take care and God Bless! 🇺🇸 -

Great info in the video Matt, but nothing to explain the unusual maker name on the tube or why that is there instead of the usual nomenclature. Scott -

I was curious about the firing pin so I stripped the bolt (YouTube is neat). I believe this is the earlier round type: -

Can't go wrong with that one as you can see genuine wear on the front where the silver plating has worn through to bear metal along the high spots and the dark patina of the rear legs of the combat jump star with a little bit of verdigris indicating that this has been paired with the wing for a very long time.
