Thanks Philip    Unfortunately it was never finished and most of the patches are pinned on.

Good call, it is the fuze section of the M28A2 HEAT rocket for M20 bazooka. Blue for practice round.     

Now this some D1 level yard saling! Nice finds!

Lol, indeed.

It was almost him, unfortunately the place of birth, date of birth and his rank do not match.     The Cpl. Samuel (or Simon) Robinson I am searching for was born in Focșani, Romania in 1898.  Does anyone in the NY WW1 records fit the description?

Can’t go wrong, love4history, with the “Big Red One” as your first patch. Informally we knew it as the “BRO” … many American Divisions had nicknames.

Hi:  Saw this patch and I think it's US Army.

My Thank s to Jerry and all for straightening me out! Im always learning. I also want to include the B8 goggles heated lens.      

I am paying attention to the 101st's new public images to see how they are implementing the wear of their historical beret flashes from the 70s on the Army Black Beret. I am now seeing new beret flashes being created and worn by many 101st units (i.e. new flashes). Here are graphics I made of all the new beret flashes the 101st are wearing that I can find so far. In a recent 101st change of command ceremony, the 18th Airborne Corps commander was witness to it all, so this must be authorized in some way; I just wish I/we could see a copy of that authorization. https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjCgatr
