Hi all,

Here is some more info from my friend:

Just to help out some with the pronounciation of Ft Huachuca....Phonetically....Wa-chu-ka

Ed

ALL,

I'll see if I can get a better description of exactly what he is looking for.

Thanks for the feedback.

Ed

The MOH citations were much simplier back then.

All:

I have a friend I trade patches with who sent this to me today. He lives in Capalaba Queensland, Australia.

I am also chasing a genuine RCMP riding crop, just in case you have any dealing with your Northern Neighbours! Have a Staff Sgt ceremonial uniform on mannequin only missing the horse whip. This is proving harder then expected. After 5 years still nothing

I have sent him an invitation to join GMIC, but thought I'd put this out there now.

Ed

Had a very close friend, USN LtCmdr,(ret) that gave me most of these. Finally got around to taking pics. Others are from my collection and my Dad's awards. Didn't take time to identify each, but would be glad to if anyone is interested

Mervyn,

I concur with your comments. I think we have better opportunities to learn more by "surfing" different forums. Sometimes, if we are looking for a certain topic, we tend to go to that one forum, read anything there, then either leave or look at one or two more then sign out.

To all who replied and posted additional pics/info; thanks again.

Ed

Alex,

A beautiful piece of work. Congrats

Ed

Thanks Mervyn. Don't really want to get rid of it, but it's always nice to know as much as I can about my stuff.

So, how are things with you? Mom is doing very well. Just celebrated a nice Valentine's Day yesterday.

I'll continue to look in the nooks and crannies for more "stuff" :-)

Take care my friend.

Ed

Thanks gentlemen. I knew I would get an answer or two very quickly.

Might you be able to place a value on this please?

Thanks again

Ed

I believe this is a hat badge, but that is all I'll guess about it.

I did a Google search using UBIQUE and found THREE hat badges;

1.Royal Regiment of Artillery

2.Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery

3.Royal Austrialian Artillery

All three show the same image, just different colours so I am a bit confused/

As usual, I'm sure I'll have info shortly.

As far as I can decipher, the words are:

QUO VAS ET GLORIA DUCUVT

TOP: UBIQUE

Thanks

Ed

Last set of my DOC patches:

Hope you enjoyed them. Collecting police department (Law Enforcement) patches is a fun and interesting hobby. My last count was 1600+. If you have any extras laying around (ANY country) I'd be glad to take them off your habds (or trade too).

Thanks for looking

Ed

More Dept of Corrections patches:

Thought these Department of Corrections (themed) patches from my collection may be interesting to some. First two are Florida DOC patches (1st-Right shoulder 2nd-Left shoulder)

More pics later.

Ed

Now-THIS is why I LOVE this site!!!!!

Fantastic what you get by just posting a picture found in a trash dump!

Well done all.

Ed

Thanks for your time and efforts. I appreciate it.

Ed

I have a few more items I'm looking for help with.

1. Pin (3/4" wide X 1" high)

2. The Helicopter Ambulance patch may be US Army, but I can't seem to locate it. Used Google and a couple of other search engines.

Thanks

Ed

Sorry the picture isn't too clear. Best I could do.

It is a lapel pin

Words under the POLICE read; "May You Be With the POLICE"

Thanks in advance.

Ed

Thanks Peter,

Is there any way of identifying a specific unit or area?

Ed

It is.

Just a bunch of things I have collected over the years and some things from this Christmas but haven't gotten around to sorting them out yet.

Ed

Got these from my son. Need help with details/values please.

Thanks in advance for your help

Ed
