army historian Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) Thanks Chris, I was real lucky on this one - I walked into a local antique shop here in Eureka, CA. I jumped on it when I saw the Dress Blues, made the owner promise to get the photos, and name (note: name in the caps, etc). Store Owner told me grandson sold the items. There is a special story on the Captains photo - I purchase it back in 1991 from a junk man (who had a contract to go though the local garbage, before it was hauled away). Unbelievable. I still need to try to run down the grandson, to see if anything is left. I missed Schermerhorn's enlisted visor cap (it was on a shelve). Cheers Captain Albert That is a more than fantastic group!!!!!! Edited January 25, 2011 by army historian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Liontas Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Very nice!!! 332nd uniforms are always a treat to see! Your Italian uniforms are fantastic!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
army historian Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Those are very very nice - and complete uniform displays. I really like the Italian, we do not see much of it. Also it is so difficult even in the US to find WW1 footwear. Thanks for sharing, Cheers Captain Albert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 26th was the only Div that had different helmet badge for each regiment (other than 2nd div) Hmmm. What about the 35th and the 89th Divisions? Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunyadi Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Thanks for the info - I believe that this is a Captains uniform as it has gold bullion stars - NCO's had the bone white stars? Sorry - its not my plan to sell it at any moment soon.... but if the creeks rise as we say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
