mum’s uncle - soldier ww2

I try to find my mum’s uncle. who serve America during ww2
I dont know if he was in the Pacific or Europe during the war.
he died in 1986, which is before my life time. so have not really heard so much about him.

I will ask my grandparents tomorrow if they know something.

The thins i know is:

Name: Egil Baro and I think he was born March 28, 1923.

have tried and search a bit myself but got no luck.

Any tips on what i can do ? I live in Norway so will be difficult for me to come to America.

I just got my hands on two armbands, it´s supposed that both where found in a box of at a house that belonged to some germans in San Francisco, back in the 60´s. There are no marks on them, so i came here for help.. They sure look old.. What are they? Are they real? How much may they be worth?
Thank you folks..

Question Kuban Shield

Hey I'm new to this forum. I am mostly an WWII US military collector, but I do collect some German stuff (mostly field gear). I hope to learn from you guys and hopefully you can learn from me. I'm am not certain about German badges, Shields or breast eagles and some other German stuff.

So i think this is may be original Kuban shield, but i would like another opinion it. If you think it a fake tell me where you see the detailed error, so i and other readers of this post will learn from it.

I got it from a store, not local to where I am, this comes out of the western US.

SS cap button

What you guys think??
I have a shot at these, and here is what he wrote..

>A mint Nickel Silver RZM Cap Skull Button For Algemeine and SS VT Caps. Still has the mint factory finish. A group of these still on the factory card, walked into Cinncinnatti’s OVMS Show about 22 years ago and all of them went home with me….See the same make and model in worse condition on the collector’s guild site.. on the black Allgemeine SS Em cap..Attachment 135236Attachment 135235<
