U.S.S. DOLPHIN PLAQUE FROM SUBMARINE NEW PRICE
This is a nice original large size submariners dolphin badge that was taken from the U.S.S. Dolphin,,,Not a simple piece of souvenir junk, but a very well made, quality item, solid brass insignia, with nice detailing. Not sure what it is mounted on, but looks like thick, black bakelite. Quite thick and can easly support the brass insignia. Measures about 12 inches, x 24 inches. Nice condition, no chips, cracks, etc. There is a note from the person who I received this from telling the history. There were two U.S.S. Dolphins this could have come from. Both had good histories, One was a Pearl Harbor during the attack and possibly shot down at least one or more Japanese aircraft. The other was one of the last diesel boats built, and was specially made to test submarine equipment, and had a lot of firsts, including the deepest dive made by a submarine. Definatly a nice, impressive submarine item. Very heavy and weighs 14 pounds and has two mounting bolts to the back. No markings that i can see.
LW FLAK NCO SHOULDER BOARDS PAIR
This is a truly used & matching set of (Luftwaffe) sew in shoulder-boards piped in bright-red for a NCO ('Feldwebel') of the Flak (anti-aircraft units). The boards have the 'silk-like' piping, typical LW-type silver NCO braid . The pair is truly used and is still dirty from wear. A truly 'front-used' pair!
WWII US ARMY FOLDING MACHETE by CATTARAUGUS
These were used during WWII by US troops,they were very well used and had proven to be a very useful tool and weapon. This one happens to from Cattaraugus (the blade is clearly stamped as such). The lock out tab is still in place and works perfect,black plastic handles and metal guards that cover the front part of the blade when open . As you can see from the pictures this is a very nice knife in good condition.
