I was presented these by a female Inspector a number of years ago.http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_09_2014/post-4280-0-72895400-1411253101.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_09_2014/post-4280-0-91662200-1411253119.jpg

Mervyn, I can't locate any markings as you describe. Any other suggestion?

Thanks again Mervyn. Where would I find the manufacturer's details? I looked on both sides and saw no writing (I presume I'm looking for writing

Once I get directions, I'll give the info.

Had to save this as a pdf file. Not sure if it can be opened. I combined both sides of the blade for comparison.

Mervyn,

Thanks for all the info. Here is a pic of the other side of the blade as well as a shot of some of the pitting on the blade. What do you suggest for the blade pitting repair?

Got this for my birthday last May.

I'd appreciate any comments about the markings please.

Got this for my wife awhile back. I apologize if I posted this before (I seem to having a few more "senior moments :-)

I thought the inside pic of Gen MacArthur was rather interesting with the saying.

Found this at a local antique store. My wife likes sterling silver things (which is what this is). Anyway, I've found a new thing to look for now :-)

Thanks for all your comments folks. As with anything: space, money and MOST IMPORTANTLY-WIFE'S PERMISSION is ABSOLUTELY vital. (LOL)

Just spent the afternoon browsing the local antique shops. Saw this, but didn't buy it $120.00 USD.

Did buy the MP helmet liner though. Obviously seen better days, but the headbands appear to be original.

Just added a pic of the inside of the MP liner. Comments on age, etc would be appreciated.

Part of my collection. Had to go buy more display boxes. Will add more later.

Hope you enjoy these.

Each frame will be numbered and descriptions added by row.

Nice reference page

This is an excellent reference book to identify US Army Heraldic Crests. I am also posting a sample page that shows an example of how the crests are identified and displayed. The book has an alphabetical index of motto's as well as an additional index with no motto, but listed numerically. The index gives the Plate number and row. There are 129 Plates (pages) with 24 pictures per page (3096 crests!).

You can also use this one.

Many will remember this GREAT lady as well as the GREAT song she introduced.

Interesting online opportunity to visit.

It was normally part of a patent leather gear set worn by US Army Military Policemen. I have my Dad's set which includes the 1st aid pouch, magazine holder (two .45 cal magazines) .45 cal holster, shoulder strap and belt.

Interesting history of the US Medal of Honor

I was going through one of my "memory footlockers" and found this old 1969 USAF Survival Guide. It is really interesting to read some of the ideas/concepts that were presented back then.

Thanks for the comment and pics Dave. Hope other may have the opportunity to visit this fantastic place someday.

Thanks Mervyn. Right now I have them in a case with some of my other special badges.

Mervyn,

Looks like it is of no interest to folks so guess you can shut it down

My wife surprised me with these two sterling silver "presentation badges" for our 50th wedding anniversary (June 6th). They were specifically made to be used on plaques, etc so they are flat on the back with no pins. BEAUTIFUL pieces. The pictures don't really do them justice, but that's the best I could do for now off my cell phone :-)

Thanks Mervyn. I truly enjoy "surfing" the site to see the varied interests and postings.

Don't know anything about the sword stick. I was hoping someone might be able to give some insight about it.

Not sure if I mentioned it or not, but we also celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary on June 6th!

BTW: When is our next photo competition? My family and I are waiting with baited breath!

Just in case anyone is interested in looking at their web site.
