The “Sea Going Uniform company, was in busy from 1946-2010. With the hook and eyes, and being cotton, pre 1984. 

FYI, and later on next week (probably Tuesday, 6/19/24, about 9:00am PST) I'll be posting all of these patches FOR SALE on the forums Shoulder Insignia  sub-forum.     A Hui Hou,   John

I found this set at a local antique store today. Does anyone have an idea of the date on these?   Thanks in advance, Hayman    

Its always fun to see what others find and have a good discussion. Posting is a good thing. Everybody gets to learn something and thats a big part of the hobby. I learn something pretty much every day as it's an ongoing process. I just don't focus a lot on listed prices or very seldom comment on values or prices as most of the stuff is subjective price wise and worth is typically an agreement between a buyer and seller. Auction prices are fueled a lot by the urge to "win" and emotions get involved.I see less and less discussed about an items history or use at events I attend and more and more its just a discussion about money or how much someone sold. But such is how the hobby has evolved the last several years.

How about these Flight Surgeon wings? Sterling marked, one piece, pin back. Maker and ww2 or post ww2?

Found this one on a Facebook group “3rd Armored Division (Spearhead)”. Can anyone provide the scenario why there is a 510 Armor Patch on the shoulder, but a 3AD patch over the heart?   thanks!

Nice piece of history, however dark.

The naval daggers are my favourite.

Hello,   Thank you for your answer. Yes, it is with hook and eye collar closure. Here are some pictures of one uniform (I have two pair of vest and pants from the same soldier).       The first manufacturer tag is from the first vest, and the two others from the second one:       Here are the pictures of the pants and its faded tag:     Regards, Vertol

Thank you guys for the lesson. I really appreciate your time. And you’re right, those are prices I saw folks asking online. That’s pretty much my only resource for pricing but I do get the difference between asking and paying prices. I did study the photos closer and see the differences you guys pointed out. I clearly have a lot to learn. So I’ll refrain from posting about things I don’t know a a bout. Thanks again guys.
