I agree with the comments made by Spathologist.  The sword knot is not US regulation however I would expect to see the Springfield Armory markings etched on the ricasso of the blade.  It does look to be original from what I can see.      Here is a similar sword, maker marked, that is identified to a US General Officer.  Also, a view of the proper US leather knot (depending upon the time period).      

Hello all, I was doing some research about my grandfather's V-42 stiletto. They say the first 500 had serial numbers, but mine is 516.  Grandfather was a 1st Lt in the FSSF and was at a bunch of places, including Anzio. Just confused about why mine has a higher number. I have a bunch of other stuff of his (Metals, papers, and medical records), including his Colt 1911, which is also confusing because I know they used a 1911A1, but I can post about that on the other thread.    Any insight on this knife and its high serial number would be great. Not really looking to sell, but if it's okay, I would love to know the value. (If asking about value is not allowed, let me know and I will edit this post.) 

Very nice and well done!

Hi, I recently found this SPH-4 helmet  It is painted white and has the name "Swafford". I am not an expert and would like to know: - approximate value - possible usage (unit or type of pilot) Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

Well, if this forum isn't lame nowadays...Is anyone alive out there that can add any info to this thread?

Looks like they used blue/gold “overseas cap” branch piping for the hat and shoulder straps .  

Here’s another for ya , mike1998

Those are AWESOME!!!

Can you post a picture of the piping on the cap.   I can’t see anything in your picture.
