2 US Army Air Mattresses
Didn't unfold them for the photo.
2 US Paratroopers Ft. Bragg, NC. PT Shirt
1 in great condition not shown, camera died. The rough one I got a pic of before it died.
Besides the one last photo of the PT shirt in great condition missing from the photos.
So, What do you guys think?
Can someone answer some of my questions? Like what that white shirt is or some of the patches?
Thanks!
I think it is awesome, the best part is that you have photos of the soldier with it.
Whatever happens, I hope it sells as it is and has always been, a historic snapshot of one mans service, and not dissipated forever for the sake of a few extra shekels. What are your thoughts on this Shooter, split it up or sell it as found?
It's getting rarer by the day to have the opportunity to find such treasures as this and do the right thing, but that's the way it goes nowadays I guess.
Whatever, it's a nice position to be in, good luck to you old son.
Regards, Ned.
