Can ANYBODY ID this badge?

I THINK this is a US Sheriff's badge that is worn as a tie slide in the West, but not certain. The back has that type of device, if you can see it from the scan. Any ideas? Thanks.

A couple U.S. jackets

I went out Friday morning and found a few items at a few garage sales . The USMC jacket and the WAVE jacket are a husband wife set. The German Navy ID book was a nice surprise. Does anybody know what the white diamond patch is for?

Question Dating an SSh-40 helmet?

Hi, I'm new here, and I was wondering if anyone could give me a a definitive way to see if an SSh-40 is wartime or post war issue, other than the date stamp (which, as you all probably know much better than me, is often fake)? Like chinstrap features, colors and liner pads? Thanks in advance.
