GORGEOUS...STUNNING, the look of the wood on that is amazing!  

The Halo and Scuba patches are modern tea-stained tourist bait.

Charles "Chuck" Older Flying Tigers Just reunited these Wings and Chinese Ribbon bar so figured I would up date this thread Love the rear label 🤩  

I got these is a small lot online, along with some genuine WWII rank patches, for the princely some of 5 buckaroos.    I know these are a minefield, but what are the chances these are real?  The 25th ID patch Im sure is real.   Thanks in advance! John    

Sorry not for sale

. Funny BUT Scary . . . . . . . . . .    My 1973 girlfriend Miv sent me an email today, she had taken one of her images from when we dated and added movement to it using Ai.  Unfortunately it appears to be  using a disallowed format so it won't play on the forum.     She then sent me an Ai clip of me taken around the same year sat in my first Jeep, it's the only image I have of that time, however pausing the Ai clip I now have several more images of myself and the Jeep that NEVER really existed. !!!!   🤔 😂 😂.   Notice the branches of a tree under my arm in the first photo appear to morph into a large steering wheel as the images move along, also my jeans never had worn creases down the front !!!! an Ai interpretation, but I am pleased that it captured how slim I was back then.                Norman D.

A pretty significant (and pricey) Naval Flight Officer grouping / lot named to Jess Kelly. 3 Philipp buckles included in the lot. Two separate PV-2 Neptune buckles, one with the makers mark on the back. And one, which I think is mighty awesome, is the one with the image of a Martin PBM Mariner patrol bomber on it.     

Now that's a thing of beauty.  Thank you for sharing.

WOW!   RARE and it's beautiful!  Thanks for sharing!   OD

Still thinning down on the collection, but I thought you folks might like to see this one before it goes . One of the approximate 100 .30 Carbines that were presented to officials and execs during, and early post WW2. This one was awarded to a supervisor in the Inland Division of General Motors for exceeding his department's production quota in 1944/45. He was not allowed to bring it to the nursing home after retirement and had grown old so he sold to a friend in Dayton, Ohio where he was from. Original, never fired and in the original cosmoline fabric wrapper. Beautiful wood that has absorbed some of the preservative from the wrapper. Presentation Serial # XE 67. All presentation carbines from Inland were X serial prefix numbers. Quite rare today. Hope you enjoy!
