It’s a repo  Owen 

At that point, would you see the 1911 M3 shoulder holster? Or regular holster with hook? I’ve  seen pics of both before. Guess it would just be personal preference there. Anyways, nice display I appreciate your attention to detail!

Cool!

Just curious impression wise or For a display, I have both holsters but want to portray it correctly. Thanks!

I have a really interesting book about the pacific clipper. awesome finds, especially that photo!

Colt .45 1911 for early war till mid-1943 when you can see a S&W .38 Victory model more often... but sometimes in 45 you could still see a .45, especially used by USMC flyers...   Probably I saw the earliest photos with .38 from March 1943 in Dustin book vol. 4. 

Well done maniquin, what was more common? The .38 Victory, or the 1911A1 or was it split early war and late war? Love the display!

Thanks a lot! I always like all kinds of small details. For me, it is the most important aspect in the Naval Aviation WW2 display. All tiny details make a difference!  Ha ha ha ;) The rest guys are for sure in a better position, especially near the summer...  I added another one, "items" for him:     Cheers, Jerry

Today his son pointed out that he's wearing his Purple Heart ribbon in the pic. He was badly wounded in the St Lô breakthrough, July 1944, and sent back to the US, so it's definitely after that. 

Great collection - thanks for sharing!  Something bigger, a bit, but still in the subject area ;)
