thank you, i appreciate it

[FLPatrick]

cool finds.

[WWIIAustrailianTroop]

Thanks. I' am really impressed with the para liner. I found out that it was originally a inland liner and fire stone re stamped it and converted it into a para liner, the rigged a straps mean that they are attacked about 1 inch above the suspension. this was done after the actual liner was made, when they converted only 75,000 into para liners.

[FLPatrick]

[WWIIAustrailianTroop]

[WWIIAustrailianTroop]

I have the same problems as well. The uniforms are the big problem, they look nice but they are always a pain to display and store. Heres what i do. I have two trunks. 1 regular and 1 WWII ish era. And i stuff them with as much field gear and any misc items. Then i get a couple of containers and i store my uniforms in there. i dont have the containers in my room, they are in the basement. If you want, i can make a video of what i' am talking about.

[himmler251]

the ribbon bars i have the one of the bottom left with 2 stars and the one on the botton right plus the air medal with all 3 ribbons each other ribbon has a oak leaf cluster on it

north Africa Theater and Army Good Conduct

[himmler251]

that usaaf pilot wings i got something like that but it has a downard falling bomb with wings in the middle, can u tell me what this is??

[WWIIAustrailianTroop]

If is has a down-ward falling bomb, then the badge is a USAAF gunners wings. Is is pin back or clutch back? Also, is it Sterling silver?

[himmler251]

the same as yours

[WWIIAustrailianTroop]

Okay. Then it's a WWII United States Army Air Force Pilot Gunners wings, pin back sterling silver. =) Andrew has one too, except his is clutch back.
