      As part of a large assortment of US Militaria I picked up this week was a small box which had some weight to it and when I looked inside I noticed that there were Pinback Combat Medic Badges some still wrapped in tissue paper.  They're unmarked as to maker or content so I'll need to test them for silver but when I got them home and counted there is 100 of them.  The box was not from the manufacturer sadly as it was a recycled shaving kit packaging from the 40's but I'm still happy with this haul which I assume came from a PX or an Army Navy Store as they are NOS with many of them still wrapped up. I've come across patches in bulk before but never badges like these so figured I'd post them here.

      OF Course.   LCDR is Lt Commander. MC is Medical Corps (that is the doctors) VS is the classification for Volunteer Reserve (Special Service)   Yes he was in during WWII I should have put the headings on the columns:   Date of Precedence is the date he got his currant rank. Year of Birth - Self explanatory Pay Entry Base Date is the date he signed in to the Navy. So he signed up on October 7, 1943 and was given his rank on October 12, 1943.   This entry came from the Naval Officer registry for 1944.    Haven't tacked him down for after WWII but may have stayed in the Reserves

      Great find,  It is in all probability an NY Militia plate from the Waar of 1812 or shortly after.  There was a lot of fighting in the Niagara to Buffalo part of the state.  Most off the Militia refused to go accross the river into Canada.

      Not good imo. Looks like a Taiwanese made repro

      Is this pewter or brass?   Are the holes drilled or "punched"?

      Plus I've never been there, so it'll give me a good reason to visit. last time I was on a WW2 sub was way back in the 60's or 70's. There was one moored over at Salem ,MA, I think it was the USS Sea Dog. Hope all goes well, and thanks again to Leigh for the Battleship Cove suggestion. Plus I'll finally get a look at two PT Boats. Never realized they actually carried up to 3000 gallons of 100 octane aviation gas to fuel those 3 powerful V-12 Packard engines.
