Thanks PF! Came out of NC.    I think you are correct it was a base security copter. I believe it was from serial no. 66-1219.    Chris

Ok I was slightly wrong, the guy who wore this was not 1st recon. He actually started out as force recon. Then he went to Det 1 then to MARSOC. He was issued this combat shirt when he was in Det 1. He wore this combat shirt in both Det 1 and MARSOC.

Nice images! I love when you can see state buttons in images. Any chance you could post a closeup of the Louisianas? Paul

I suspect these might have been a 'Cottage Industry'-type of product, in that these might have been made by different craftsman in their own shed/workplace/man cave to a general set of plans and then collected and finished/painted at a central place?   Very nice, I have a few just post-war metal jeep models but no wooden one yet.  

The knives that I do not understand are the knives listed WW2 U.S. fighting/trench knives made in Japan and Germany.    Is there that many people who don't know who the Allied countries were fighting. 

Hello everyone. Is it possible to know what era these patches are from? I bought them separately. The glue remuants on the recruiting command patch were recently added.   Thanks in advance.

That's good to know. I had the suspicion that "no glow" doesn't automatically mean WWII, unlike what all those online guides say out there.

The pattern of teeth not the shape remind me of an old corn sheller. Maybe the pattern in the mold was just laid out differently or modified from some agricultural tooling.  I agree, would look great on one of my shelves. Very nice.

Hi,    I'm just trying to find out more info about this unit. What conflicts and battles did they fight in (specifically, which conflicts did they use the attached SSI in)? What theater did they fight in? Rarity and worth of this patch?   Any help is greatly appreciated! Mike

🤢   Hope he gets well soon.
