8th. 

If you tell us his name we could try and find some info on him.

I believe Rock-ola's never had factory adjustable sights.  The adjustable sight on your Rock-ola was most likely either put on by a unit armorer or when going through an inspection and rebuild program, replacing the flip sight.

Hi Beth (Dutton?), I know absolutely nothing about saddles but perhaps you can take a look at this previous post and see if it makes any sense to you.  Hopefully, someone that knows more about what you have will answer as well.  By the way, in case it is you, I love your new show on CBS. https://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/267993-jqmd-1942-saddle-yard-sale-pickup/

I agree. That's what I was thinking.    Wade

I'm going to say that the shoulder patch is for the 8th Army, but the photo has been colorized, and the patch colors were done incorrectly. The chevron and overseas bars are also color enhanced, so there is some latitude taken on the actual colors.   Allan

Picked these up today and wanted to verify if they are original or not. Verdigris on the rivets leads to say original. Maker marks look ok, but the color is VERY tan, instead of darker brown as aged leather tends to get. The Sears hanger is magnetic, the Enger Kress hanger is not. Thoughts? Even if they aren't original, I paid $3 a piece for them!  

Thanks! I Appreciate your feedback.  

Not original AG

Hello,  It is hard to see for me but it looks like the patch is not factory produced. That might also help in the search to know what its from. I don't really know what patch it is but i am looking to find which one it is. If i find anything i'll let you know! -BC
