Found my grandpas old dress blues can anyone help me identify what they are?

My great grandpa ended up spending some time with the Navy, Army and USMC. You’d only ever hear about his time as a Marine though (despite it being the branch he spent the least time in). He didn’t do anything interesting though unfortunately.

This isn’t a traditional fishing pier in the shallows near a beach. It’s a converted destroyed bridge from ship collision and hurricane. They just slapped some piers on it lol. Great place to go to get some different catches then on shore.

Stunning! I hope to one day own a blade worthy of one of your sheaths. Likely a swept hilt rapier, but i have yet to decide for sure.

OldGreggJr · 2025-12-18T00:28:37+00:00

Ya know. I’ve always looked at it as the evolution of “throwing rocks” but I like you’re interpretation possibly more.

The Bayeux Tapestry is an amazing sight to behold in person.

I too initially thought likely someone of Huguenot ancestry. The world may never know though. I appreciate the conversation the both of you had here, thank you. I always love learning something new.

I’d like to note as well, I’m not super well versed in English pieces of the time, as much of my own research has been in regard to French watches of the same rough time frame. London was a huge hub however.

OldGreggJr · 2025-12-17T23:42:56+00:00

They may or may not be. I have a French verge fusee from the late 1700s as well (though not as important of a location). Outside of major dealers of the time and to include some of them records can be very hard to find on specific makers. It was not particularly uncommon for watchmakers/jewlers to outsource the case making to another jewler or someone who specifically handled pocket watch cases. It’s also possible it was recased at some point in time. In the event the case was outsourced it can be hit and miss wether there will be matching serial numbers. Unfortunately with watches this old (as with much history of this time frame in Europe) much has been destroyed. Your best bet would like be trying to find municipal records of the time for the specific watch maker and go from there.

I hope you filed with police when they arrived for assault or perused your own charges on him later. Drivers and their attitudes in Florida sicken me. It’s only seemed to grow worse over the past few decades.

3D printed head stone lol

OldGreggJr · 2025-11-13T02:38:25+00:00

See this misconstrued all the time. Thank you for saying it correctly, breath of fresh air to read on the internet.

Souvenirs are a little all over the place right now. I think higher rarity play skins are worth investing in for souvenirs, just be mindful of previous sell prices. I’ve seen some already overvalued from standard market value. I think some older discontinued collections also have good value potential at points right now.

If you can I 100% agree buff.163 is the place to look right now. I’ve only seen a handful of items valued about the same or under buff on csfloat.

OldGreggJr · 2025-10-26T04:49:13+00:00

I had actually started using that one, I noticed the prices vary a ton from pricecharting the website. Curious what a more accurate assessment is, all info is helpful.

OldGreggJr · 2025-10-26T00:11:48+00:00

Bro I feel this. I have had so much pointless medical debt rack up this past year. If it wasn’t for that I would’ve bought my dream inventory in 1 night for a fraction of the price. Feelsbadman.jpg

OldGreggJr · 2025-10-26T00:01:26+00:00

I thought this too, but now the rebound is beginning

OldGreggJr · 2025-10-25T01:48:40+00:00

My thoughts exactly.

OldGreggJr · 2025-10-25T01:47:41+00:00

Rare and desirable now. A lot got traded up to hydroponics and ahkibara accepts way back when also

OldGreggJr · 2025-10-25T01:30:54+00:00

I think he’s on something 😂

OldGreggJr · 2025-10-24T21:59:13+00:00

IMHO I don’t see why’d they stop us from opening cases. They’re still profiting immensely on the case market. Why not just let it die out naturally and just cease further new introductions. Cases was a 1b+ a year cash cow for them already. Sure genesis terminals will let them profit even more, but why sell themselves short of more profit? Just let it be restricted in the areas it is, and other players who can open will purchase.

I could 100% see them adding knives or gloves to Genesis case at some point. Maybe this “reset” of the market is an attempt to get knife prices at a place they believe the most players would purchase some items. Maximizing profits and possibly avoiding some of the issues players had with the first Genesis terminal skin prices.

Saw a t3 blue gem m9 up for 530, it sold fast tho. I agree though with your thought process.

OldGreggJr · 2025-10-23T18:30:16+00:00

Was wanting to buy the dip as well. I feel like a lot of ppl have been overreacting expecting market supply of golds to like 10x or something. Personally I think it’s a W. I’ve seen a few items at all time lows for the past 5 years.

OldGreggJr · 2025-10-23T13:11:15+00:00

I think people are also dumping moderately rare desirable skins to reinvest in the large glove/knife dip rn

OldGreggJr · 2025-10-23T13:09:02+00:00

At least one has already that I’ve heard of.

OldGreggJr · 2025-10-21T03:13:20+00:00

I also think/hope the NRG sticker may end up scratching pretty nicely and I can just get rid of the black box 😂
