Was lucky enough to add two more examples. One of which is another scarce saddle blanket emblem that has been converted to a screw post back. The heft of the emblem and its strong resistance to bending compared to the helmet version are wildly different. This one had had a very nice curve bent into, which would take some pretty decent effort to achieve.  This is my second example of the scarce saddle emblem. Updated display with new additions. This makes 7 enlisted examples in my collection with no officer examples unfortunately. 

I somehow missed this.  Very special group!  It is the most complete 8th AF group I have seen.  I chase 8th AF medals and really like this.  Thank you for sharing!

Sorry I cannot help.  I have a loose Sperry gyro.  I have never seen one in the box.  The graphics are really neat.    Sperry was massively important for the war effort.  Interestingly the Fritz Duquesne spy network had infiltrated the plant prior to the war.  In fact, Germany had a copy of the ultra-secret Norden bombsite blueprints before our entry in WWII.   Again, I really like the box!

Looks like you’ve got some nice Civil War swords.

love those hedgerows, it’s the Normandy Eve.

Great display!  I have always found the pigeon communication interesting.  Thank you for sharing!

You sure that’s even a Mitchell cover??? Great salty helmet.

This is a well done diorama. Everything works here. The camo BDU's are great, I love the purple smoke signal. My only critique is that I know they're on grass, but I feel like you might need to ground the figures.  Otherwise 👍🏽👍🏽.

Very nice! 

No, in WWII the one as a Patch could be worn, as well as the matching pair with Andy Jackson, the one I posted was just made  in the mid  to late 60s early 70s, you will see these with 1930s 1950s hallmarks,   Its the one from when the 30th was downgraded to a brigade size organization in 1974 that will of course not be worn in WWII.
