      Sure, but you didn't post this in that forum. I asked, what do YOU want to do with this item?

      Chris that Manila Ship Salvage Diver's buckle is amazing.  Would you be willing to share a picture of that one alone?  Thanks, Ryan

      I used to own this service coat years ago and rebought it from a fellow collector. I always like trying to find examples of CBI patches with the snaps on uniforms! Also picked up a unit history to the 1880th Engineer Aviation Battalion

      Is this an original WWII D-Bale paratrooper helmet? I know the exterior camo paint is post war, but what about the rest of the helmet? Thanks

      I acquired this USMC WWII reproduction helmet cover from Top Pots in 2010 and paired it with a J. Murray reproduction M1 helmet for use in Marine Corps recruiting displays at high schools and college campuses. The first two photos are from the Top Pots website in 2010. The other photos were taken when I assembled the cover and helmet for display. I sold the J. Murray helmet in 2021 and recently ran across this cover, which I no longer need. Top Pots currently sells their USMC WWII repro covers for $65 plus shipping. If you're interested in this cover, it is available for purchase in For Sale - Helmets and Accessories forum at the link below. Price is $25 plus shipping via USPS in the US only.   USMC WWII Reproduction Helmet Cover. Perfect for Reenactors or Military Recruiting Displays. https://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/422426-usmc-wwii-reproduction-helmet-cover-perfect-for-reenactors-or-military-recruiting-displays/

      Hi Steve, Thanks. I detect on a large meadow and field about two kilometers from the American Cemetery in Margraten. I live nearby. Barracks used to stand on that land for the Black soldiers who dug the graves for the fallen,after the cemetery was reorganized, a lot of material was buried there,pieces of equipment, all sorts of things, including these tags. I’ve found intact ones and dog tags too, though most of these tags are broken from the plowing; it’s been pasture with cows for years now. I once returned a mess kit to the granddaughter and son of a fallen soldier; I’m still in touch with the granddaughter now and then. Her grandfather (the soldier) is buried at the cemetery, and before I sent the item back, I took photos of the objects at his grave,they found that wonderful.
