World War Two
US WW2 Section One
WW2 USAAF 9th Engineer Command Sergeant's Jacket with Theater Made Shoulder Patch
A locally found piece that I have not tried to research. A long serving nco with 4 service stripes and 6 overseas stripes. The shoulder patch is beautifully embroidered on felt and probably German or Italian made. A killer piece. Also has British made Good Conduct and ETO ribbon with 4 campaign stars and a separate American Defense ribbon. Very good to excellent condition. $195.00Three WW2 AAF Related Homefront Related Items
Two "Keep 'em Flying pins and what is probably an earlier Army Air Service or Army Air Corps piece, prop and wings on a bugle, which was probably a sweetheart piece. The bugle pin is 3" long with an open catch. Really a detailed piece that I've never seen before. $45.00WW2 US Army M1943 Field Jacket
Very good to excellent condition example. Issued and with the GI's laundry number in the color. Has all the tags but the QM tag is washed out. Very hard to ride but appears to be a 44 date. Has a size 36 tag but I wear a size 42 jacket and this one fits me nicely. Found the original hood in the pocket. $125.00Beautiful Pre-WW2 Officer's Visor Cap
High quality officer's cap by Bailey's Inc, Chicago. Couple small moth holes around the sides but nothing detracting. Overall in very good condition. Approx. size 7 1/8. SoldCamp Callan Military Police Badge
Camp Callan was located in La Jolla, California north of downtown San Diego and was an anti-aircraft and Coast Artillery replacement training camp established in 1940 and closed shortly after WW2 ended in 1945. Badge is in excellent condition and hallmarked on the reverse. Can't quite make out the company but appears to be in PA. $195.00WW2 North Africa, Sicily and Italy "Forget me Not" Bracelet
A very nice piece made of aluminum. The main piece is dated 1944 with Naples and "Do not Forget me". The other links have names of places engagements took place, i.e. Africa, Sicily, Cassino, Caserta, Anzio, Rome. Could probably narrow down the unit from that. $45.00WW2 USAAF Bombadier Wing, Fullsize, Clutchback, Sterling
Nice example with the stubby prongs and flat backed clutches. Marked sterling. $65.00WW2 AF, US Army B-5 Life Vest, 53rd Troop Carrier Squadron
Shows use but still soft and supple. This vest saw lots of flight time and most likely service during the Berlin Airlift as the 53rd Troop Carrier Squadron was very active in this operation. Looks like the first issue date is July 1945 and has inspection dates up through the 50s. They're a little hard to read but that's the best I can discipher. The blowing tube is missing and the upper strap is cut but the unit stencil makes this a piece of history. $95.00WW2 US AAF 13th Air Force Officer's Uniform Coat
Very nice coat as found at a Butte, Montana estate sale. Has man's Name and serial number inside. Came with all insignia except a wing and can't see any holes for one. Captain's bars are hallmarked Luxenburg. Shows wear from use and has one small moth hole on the right sleeve, otherwise very good condition. $95.00WW2 AAF Folding Machete, Camillus
Shows use and wear to the blad but overall very condition. $75.00WW1 US Army Enlisted Visor Cap

1942 dated Australian battle jacket with excellent Australian made 5th US Air Force shoulder patch. Although the name on the tag has been marked over you might be able to make it out in the right light. Might possibly have been worn by an pilot or flight officer. $175.00WW2 USMC Dress Blue Uniform
