    These are two of the four crates they were sent home in.....

    For those of you with sharp eyes you will see that he got his serial # wrong on one of the boxes. LoL The one on the right matched up with his dog tags. And for you conspiracy theorists out there, no, they are not recent creations. I had to gently clean off 70 years of crud to reveal the name and address's.

    Great find, I love seeing the whole group, these are truly time capsules.
    The flag is an enigma , and it may never be solved.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks Chris. Most of the stuff was junk or low value. But still a few nice items.

    May your next ammo box come with a KC.

    Chris: doubt I will ever find another Vet lot.

    Marty: Thanks. I think they look great. Of course untouched ones are more valuable, these have a bit more history to them.

    Super post!

    I love these "oddities" and the mysteries around them.

    Very interesting indeed.

    Possible. I do have another home made pendant. (I over paid for it but wanted it so...who cares).

    It was (I think) for the BDM or maybe HJ....or maybe even RAD.
    HJ or BDM it is; not RAD.

    This was one of the pieces. On the surface it obviously appeared to be homemade. Double sided. But when you look closer you can see that at one point in time there was a full machine stitched roundel that was removed. Not sure why this was done and replaced with this crudely made swastika. There is however no doubting it was period done given the provenance of the Lot.

    An interesting piece for sure.
    I have a DAF flag that was unprofessionally assembled from another flag. The sewing and alignment is terrible. You can see the shadow of a larger rondel.

    I don't think we will ever know why. Just one of those things.
