I have quite a few books from Twentynine Palms I will check when I get home.

Fake stuff purchased by hopeful folks thinking they acquired a WWII uniform item is sad.  But companies importing what is clearly fake WWII Nazi stuff and selling it as original is probably a crime and should be treated as such.  

Found in an antique store in Colorado.  I didn't buy it but I thought it was interesting as I'd never seen one before.     It's a leather tri-fold wallet with "HONORABLE DISCHARGE" in gold type.     Has inside pockets for an ID card and "record of service."     Opening up the tri-fold would allow a veteran to carry his discharge certificate or DD-214 (not sure if they called it that in WWII) with him.     The size of the tri fold makes it small enough to fit in a vest pocket of a jacket.     I presume a discharged service member would carry this around to prove that he was honorably discharged and not AWOL, or perhaps when applying for a post-discharge job.     Anyway, I had just never seen one so I thought it was interesting.   EDIT:  Just realized this is probably posted in the wrong section.  Can I delete this?      

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

Wow - This one is super cool with the waving swimsuit lady! 

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

Cool pic

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.
