I checked the listing and the seller had posted this information: • Military Commemorative Zippo (2001): Features the "Big Windy" 180th Assault Support Helicopter Co. insignia. Stamped with Zippo date code "A 01". Not an old one then? -

I saw a canning jar full of those in a collection. They were pickled in alcohol, formaldehyde, or something. Was the color of tea. Couldn’t quite see what was going on until he ‘sloshed’ it. Pass. -

First time I went to the Philippines, my wife and I drove to a remote mountainous area called Sagada (Luzon). There was a culture there that stacked their dead in hardwood coffins in the mouths of large caves in the area. They also hung them on the sides of cliffs. The locals told my wife and I not to take photos of the coffins because of the curse. That was all I needed to know. I got no pictures. Back in WW2, toward the end of the war, enterprising G.I.s and their Filipino comrades began a black market in Japanese skulls. The target market was replacements that wanted a meaningful souvenir to take back home. Thing was, most or at least many of the skulls were not Nihonjin. They were Filipino skulls taken from unguarded family crypts, or cemetery’s. it was around this time many of the skulls back in Sagada were looted from the caves. I shudder to think of the havoc that old curse played on those collectors. -

Dug these out to post. Came out of an estate locally however I surmise the Sergeant served at Lowry Field or perhaps Buckley. Came out of suitcase where they had sat since the war. The cap has the orange and blue cording as well. Cap made by Feldman of Denver and the uniform was tailored in Denver and is named and dated. -

Thought I would add my set to the topic. These came locally however I am guessing the sergeant was stationed at Lowry Airfield. Tailored in Denver Colorado, named and dated 1942. Even the cap has the gold and blue cord trim and was put out by Feldman which was also in Denver and produced the well-known crusher cap. This was pulled from a suitcase out of an estate where they had sat since the war. -

I do recall hearing that a few times. Once I get a claymore back I'll be sure to use that. Wade -

Had a vet tell me he would use the bag the claymore mines would come in.
