My grandpa was a colonel in the us military and kept his two uniforms and cap in fantastic shape. I will try and swing by my grandmothers tonight to get some photos. I was just wondering if you guys would be interested?
Guys, I believe these are, WWI to early WWII, Infantry insignia. Thought you'd like to have a look. Best, Hal
