World War I U.S. Field Jacket for Review

[GIZMO8Z]

Did I miss anything great at the show, joe? I was going to go but work got in the way...as usual.

It was a nice show! A good variety of vendors and lots of nice people. I brought some stuff to sell but only moved a krag bayonet (which I let go for way too cheap )

Next time, look for Josh and I! Can't miss us... A big ex football player and a "hipster" lol

It would be nice to know for sure what the insignia is.

I just read that the red chevron is definitely honorable discharge and the star may represent a soldier who volunteered for enlistment instead of being drafted.

I might try to make the next show. It's about a 90 minute drive for me, but work got in the way and there was no way to make it there and back before work. Is there a show website?

It's a 3hr trip for me!

Here's their website:
