Hugh Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 I seek the following insignia:If you have a mate in Seoul, there are quite a number of uniform and insignia shops around the Korean War Museum on the west side (away from the base at Yongsan). As I said in an earlier post, they're very cautious about selling to foreigners, but perhaps a Korean national could elicit something.
drewchaneyau Posted February 7, 2008 Author Posted February 7, 2008 Hugh - Good day mate .... I've got a ranking US Army officer in country who is prepared to give it a go and pop over to your shop and see what he can do. Please let me have the address as mentioned and also any requests that you may have. Let's see if we can kill 2 birds with 1 stone so to say. Anh ehp appreciated - fingers crossed.Drew

Anh ehp appreciated - fingers crossed.DrewI don't have a specific address or name, but if he walks out the main gate at Yongsan, down past the War Museum, there will be 3 - 4 shops on that side of the street, and 1 or 2 across the street and up the side street. Unless he speaks Korean, he'd do well to speak an interpreter with him. It might help if he went in uniform. I'm a retired O-6, and went in with a ROK Army colonel (both in civvies), and they didn't want to hear from us. No specific requests from me, but I'd be curious to see whether they can get access to full size medals. Best,Hugh
drewchaneyau Posted February 8, 2008 Author Posted February 8, 2008 Hugh - Thanks for sound advice....I 'll pass on accordingly and await with glee any positive aquisitions.......hopefully. Fingers crossed.Again, my thanksDrew
