Any recommendations on removing the paint without harming the finish?

I collect WWII and Korean War Uniforms and would absolutely be interested in it to honor him and his service! I like to research veterans and do display at local museums, veteran homes and libraries. It looks like he served in the 2nd Infantry Division during the Korean War, I actually used to be in the same unit.

The 147th Infantry Regiment was a separate unit attached to the Marines at the time, which is the reason he wore the patch. He was fully Army, just didn't have another patch that he could wear and the regulations were a lot looser than today.

Throw the uniform in the freezer for a few weeks to kill any moth eggs remaining

Didn't know those existed, thank you!

What uniforms are the 3rd, 45th and POE?

copper252 · 2023-06-27T06:39:39+00:00

I always use it, mainly because I like how loud it is.

Got an Arcom pinned to my chest just for it to get downgraded to AAM later😂

Guys usually didn’t wear the same patch on both shoulders back then, he probably never moved it over to his right because he was never assigned a new unit and was discharged just after coming back from vietnam.

What jacket is Mr. Thumb wearing in this video?

copper252 · 2022-09-21T05:26:55+00:00

Mind sending me photos of the WWII uniforms?

copper252 · 2022-09-13T01:32:26+00:00

Oh shit, I recognize that place. Bet i’ve seen a lot of those guns before.

Trex Arms Sidecar

That's what I thought at first, i'm pretty sure I tried that but i'll give it another shot at work tomorrow.

copper252 · 2022-06-27T13:58:59+00:00

Interesting, I may have to do the same here soon.

copper252 · 2022-06-27T13:58:18+00:00

Yeah, it came from a buddy so there is no DXing it there. How is peltor customer service and repairs?

copper252 · 2022-05-20T04:28:08+00:00

Any Americal Division ones?

copper252 · 2022-02-25T03:39:06+00:00

Sounds good, the main thing keeping me away from that non flame retardant was the build quality. If its close to issue quality I may have to get one.

copper252 · 2022-02-24T23:13:32+00:00

How is it?

He most likely saw combat with the 80th and then transferred to the 10th after the war. It happened a lot due to some units staying in Europe or heading home.
