Maybe the other way around...her daughter attended the USNA and her son-in-law did as well. I know this because her son-in-law was one of the midshipmen in my company. A great guy. I only met her daughter a few times (can't date within the same company) but I've been friends with the two of them post-Navy. Her daughter serves in the Florida legislature. 

Thank you so much Bearmon for the references, specifically the Trading Post article. US Army 1st Transportation Battalion Seaborne it is.

This also came with matching M-3 knife. It has the flame on butt of knife, but no markings on blade.

I would let it be as it looks pretty good the way it is, I would be overjoyed to get one like this.

Welcome to the forum! I’m sure someone can help you out and the edged weapons section has tons of references.

Lots of references, just new here. 

Just read I need 30 posts to place a want add. So will be posting quite a bit here. 

Recently received this early Naval Aviator wing from eBay and was very pleased to get this wing.    While looking closer I noticed there appears to be a marking removed from the anchor stock. Has anyone seen any type of engraving in this area before??   I tried to take some decent pics and I hope these will show what I’m seeing. Looking for thoughts and opinions. Thank you.    Chris    

Picked up this Mk2 at the flea market. Pretty good shape but for some surface rust. Is there a safe way to remove the rust without affecting the paint, or should I just leave it alone? Any problem with applying Ren Wax?   Also, does anyone have an appropriate fuze they would part with? I have a spoon, so don’t need that. 

The photo documentation is great!!
