Post better pics of the M3 knife, please. Just picked up a Camillius M3 in really nice condition for $160. 

The 2nd ACR also saved the Lipizzan Stallions from the Russians is 1945. 

So, after some back and forth, I got the jacket for 317 USD including shipping. It arrived today and it looks good in person. HOWEVER, I have a few questions concerning the SSIs:   Both the Special Forces and the 101ST look kind of... New? And there isn't really any pressing through. The Airborne tab above the SF SSI does press through and the SF does, too, but I suspect, that they were added onto the jacket later, but that there were ones on there originally.   The 101st, however, has NO signs of pressing through. On top of that, the Airborne tab seems wrong... Because there are marks of a Ranger scroll, where now the 101st's Airborne tab is...   So: What Are your thoughts? Are the SSI originals, that were added later? Or repros? Or modern SSI? AND SHOULD I carefully strip them off the sleeves? And can someone maybe make out the ghosting of the name?   Kind regards and thanks for all your help, Jules

Superb piece. Have several "X's" in my collection. Just curious. how much??   

I saw the attached-on eBay and the front pattern is different than other gunner badges I've seen in the past. Can anyone offer insight into the maker and if it is actually World War II?

Very nice patches,   I put the pics of mines below.   First row : classic merrowed edge second row : left a velvet style, right a german bevo (I guess).   The second ACR is a very special unit in my  hometown because it liberated LUNEVILLE in september 44.   Have a great day   Dominique

Yeah, the profit motive apparently overrides all other considerations, SonofNamVet.

This vest is long discontinued, only way to find one would be through ebay. I looked on spartan armor and didn't see it.

It is sad. It looks like it was a cool/ very interesting lighter.

Available new through “Spartan Armor”
