Hello all, I am in search of my partners grandfathers WWII D Day helmet that was posted on this site in 2017. The buyer says he sold it and no longer has it. I’d love to purchase it if it’s out there and give as a gift to my partner as he was very close with his grandfather and doesn’t have anything of his due to his dad selling it all.  I appreciate the help!    https://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/298587-navy-lt-helmet-set-named-to-d-day-veteran/

What is the shell lot number? Chinstraps look awful fuzzy to be period. Ken

WW1 Veterinary corp? Forum member Gazoo is far more knowledgeable on this, but I don't have any concerns on the originality of the insignia. 

I would say UDT. The old school white sneakers are interesting 

Hello All,   I came across this insignia and was looking for expert opinion on if this is real, a reproduction, or a collation of an authentic artillery insignia and winged horseshoe. The Meyer maker mark looks good, but the winged horseshoe is a variant that I have not seen before.  Additionally, the tarnish near the wings seems odd.  Thoughts?

Sure here are a few pics. Notice the mis-spelled “Shlvage”   I think this diver was part of the failed recovery of the sunken “Hell Boat” in the Philippines in 1946. Many missing US Veterans are now being recovered there.    Chris    

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?
