A pretty cool 11th Airborne Patch I got very recently with the tab being unfinished same with the border of the patch itself

Here's 2 Army Forces Western Pacific Patches that are Uncut and each have a unique error

I found out what this for on another forum. It is for anyone interested a Belgian FAL grenade launcher case from the 60's. Mods feel free to remove if you need to. Thanks, Chris

Patch is ironed on, which I wonder if it was an after thought.  No tag in pole sleeve. This is a small flag.  Thanks 

Really cool flag! Seems its seen some use.   Is the patch sewed on or ironed on? Also, is there a tag inside the pole sleeve?

I’ve been collecting M1s for years, bought and sold many.   Im still an idiot.

All good. Thank you for letting me know. Ill be more active as I finally finishing moving but thank you for the attempt 

Young buck. I aint much older than you at all. In fact I turn 20 this year. But you need to learn a few things if your gonna survive in this hobby. Trust the older generation in this hobby. Most of them have been around longer then we have been alive. I know Mr Robert Wilson to a degree in real life along with many other men like Vince Milano and other wonderful guys in this hobby. I would not be in this hobby the way I am without there input. In fact with the ups and downs I have gone through I will say with men like them it has made it better. But again as men like them start to age out ( no offense) we need to step up and learn there ways of one seeing how much something is worth, 2 learning how beinf respectful can have you go a long way in this hobby, and 3 that we will someday be like them. I would learn to correct the attitude and learn a bit more before you go off on them or say something you will regret. I remember being your age too but I had many wonderful people to guide me such as teachers, mentors and when I started collecting men like then.    I do not wish to try and degrade, belittle, or be rude but that is just the truth in this hobby.    Best regards Maximus melton 

D-Day medic because Conneaut is coming up quick and medics/aidmen are underrepresented in the hobby.

This collector certainly doesn’t appreciate “Restorations”. The most i’ve done to mine is swapped a liner or a sweatband or added a net/cover. I wouldn’t dream of stripping any of them and repainting/recorking them, let alone adding insignia and brand new parts!   I’ve got one FSFB shell that is missing one bail and the corresponding strap, and i’m in 2 minds whether or not to get it fixed. I most likely won’t though.
