Did the ASMIC Trading Post do an article on the swastika shoulder patch worn by the 349th Field Artillery in WW I? If yes can someone tell what issue it was in?

Hello all. Got some work done. I saw that the bottom of the plane had a hole to attach the stand that came with it. Of course I had to fill it up prior to painting the wheel wells and masking and painting the aircraft. I got it mostly done. Just need to paint the anti-glare panel. Coming soon. Enjoy the pics.   Semper Fi.   Manny  

Another ODD one, Blue and White Piping, ROTC????

Firstly, it looks like it was made for the M43 too, not just a dressy jacky thingy

Yes indeed, special made to order.   If you're interested in the different types of ballcaps by era I'd suggest that you peruse old cruise books, especially the aviation squadrons and commands.   Best place to view them is here -->> US Navy Cruise Books - The largest online collection of freely accessible US Navy Cruise Books

I believe this was his helmet also, but maybe you all can help me with that. Was this even an era related helmet?

Leo Kirk was 1 of 13 Code Talkers KIA during WW2.

Hey everyone, I posed these wings in the wing section and was told they were made by William Link and more than likely from the 1930s. I’ve looked a ton online and can not find a ballpark value.    Jake

So were caps that were embroidered used?

This is the back of the Purple Heart. This is the original and when I asked why the was no engraved name, I was told that there were so many KIA at the time many medals were shipped without engraving. I do not know if that is accurate, but it's what I was told. I know that there was never a replacement ordered and thus medal is very old.
