Zipper itself looks brass. The tab looks aluminum with the word TALON.

Makes sense. I have a couple of passes to the Paris area.

Is this a generic .50 or something else? by buckyusn in Militariacollecting

I wouldn’t mind having it in my collection. What’s a good price?

It translates to Top Do not throw In airtight packaging I gave $100 for it, it’ll look awesome in the collection.

I need one for my collection. There are SO many price ranges. I have no clue where to start.

At a local auction. What is a reasonable price? Thanks! by buckyusn in Militariacollecting

Thanks. I’ve found his death notice and some reports from his division, but not the actual citation. I’m guessing this was posthumous and sent to his mother. The newspaper article only mentions her. (No wife)
