New collecter needs help.

Russ,

I have a few extra patches around here. Shoot me your address and I'll get them out when I get back from Ft. Lewis. Also, I have a complete Dress Uniform with 2 great coats (one cashmere dress, one wool field), from a major in the 32nd Inf. Div... patches still applied to most of the shirts, coats, etc. (he later was recalled to Korea and some of the uniform items have a different division on them). If he's interested in these items as well, if he'll pay shipping, I'll throw in a WW2 US officer's suit case and a couple of pair of minty British Hospital pj's he was issued after a run-in with a little German iron at Bastogne. These items are in excellent condition with no mothing. I am moving to Houston within the month and after 7 transfers in 11 years and 2 moves within the last 18 months... I'm just not inclined to haul it around any longer. If he can use it to expand his focus or as barter to get what he really wants, that will be great. I think I even have an unissued Korean Vintage US helmet I can toss in.

I started collecting when I was about 8 by going around the neighborhood and asking guys about my Dad's age if they'd been in the service and if they had anything they could donate to my "museum"... It's about time I passed a little of it on.
