Can anyone help me to understand that rank and branch of the armed forces of man was he?
Photos of man in question http://www.myguncollection.com/colt/ I recently bought a Colt 1911, which was made by man in the picture. I try to guess who was the man. Here are some things I know: 1) He was in World War 2) carrying a pistol Colt 1911 which was made in 1917, 3) the case is brown leather "holster flap" with a big "USA" stamped on his forehead. Any help would be greatly appreciated! The serial # 1911 is 154.9 XX. I have checked by two experts in 1911 and agree that the barrel seals, etc. are all compatible with the serial number. As we always say in the collection of firearms ... "Buy a gun, not history." What have I done here. Although history and I am trying to check and fill in the blanks. Thank you for your help. Doug - When I look at the real situation .. Characters in the neck to look at me and SR after a logo of some kind. Thank you
All I can understand the emblem on the hat is the army. Sorry, the image is too grainy to improve the neck unit. If you can describe, it might help. I expect that the officers carried handguns. It could simply be the print "USA" The device only agent that looks remotely rectangular device is the Corps of Engineers. However, that page as below outside the United States and I see only one device. It could also block the United States with the National Guard or Army National device. Officer rank insignia are worn on the epaulettes. I see none. Maybe you can in your "original" photos. Here's a site which could help you. Http: / / / freepages.military.rootsweb.ancestry.com ~ worldwarone / WWI / Uniforms / index.html Here's a couple more. But it could add to the confusion. The second suggests that these troops had similar (or identical) devices necklace worn by officers.
