Hi Gary, that's a great DUI! I love the 504th ever since reading Those Devils in Baggy Pants by Ross Carter. Let me know if you want to double your money on that one. That whole lot is a treasure. I'm starting to like the "smalls" as picker Frank puts it, more and more. That Corps of Engineer DUI is a beauty too. Keep hitting those "junk" sales. rick

Thanks Rick glad you like it . I was very surprised when I found out it was the 504th. Looking these items up is half the fun when you get home. I read a little about the 504th and how the German officer called them devils in baggy pants. Gary

Nice little tinnie - I also like the rank insignias and the Presidential Unit Citation.
Small items can be interesting and fun to collect and often, not very costly.
For $1 each, you can't go wrong.........!
