Vet hoard buy...

[jack944]

Picked this up from one person...I wish I could figure out half the stuff I got....�� Feel free to chime in.

Beaded civic helmet, Lw wrist compass, carved walking stick, wooden skeleton in a box with a penis, HJ armband, US wings. That's what I've ID'd. Looks cool and all original.

As I said jack that Russ front cane is an interesting piece. seeing now it looks shorter than it did ?

The rest of the stuff is cool enough.. Nice to find such things nowadays

Stuff

Trying to figure out the optic and what the wings are for? Stickpin? Did certain soldiers make those sticks?.?

Aren't you forgetting the nicest piece in the hoard? I love that stick though! I did a little search on Wolchow Sticks and all do seem to be full size walking sticks but this one seems that the bottom is carved into a handle / grip. Maybe this one was meant to be short? Or maybe it broken and was refinished into a short version of it previous self? Regardless, a great item.

Wing is an air cadet hat badge, for a "crusher". WW2 era USGI

Any idea what the double propeller one is?

Any idea what the double propeller one is?

Possibly c47 related? Of the era and a military plane used for all sorts of transport including airborne operations. If military related it would be local, as in by unit, but not authorized for wear on a uniform (not that it didn't happen). A pic of the reverse may help some...

I do like the wrist compass -

Fun hoard -

HJ armband is homemade or fake, not a textbook RZM or BeVo example.

I don`t examine anything and everything. I would also decline "looking" at this, as it`s not the kind of item that would benifit the collecting community, but rather only the owner.
So if it was really nessesary, then I could, but would charge you $250.- That would be more than the item is worth, so it`s a no-go.
The stick is an obvious fake in my opinion, carved yesterday (or the day before.) And the brass token is a fantasy item. What the rest is, is anyone`s guess.

Nothing to indicate the stick is modern and by all appearances it’s proper, don’t need to pay anyone 250.00 for that. If anything better photos would help and these are limited.

..

It is correct and period per several HJ collectors.

Here is a correct RZM HJ, as stated RZM, there are distinct design & stitching on these, nothing glows on this under a black light, yours could be period but as stated its not RZM, no home made flavors on this one

I don't think this is a vet hoard buy, more likely someones old collection of good and bad items. As already pointed out, some are obvious fakes. Not even going to comment on the coffin.

You think the brass token is real? And the stick?

Considering some of these are almost certainly fantasy items I am really confused why you think it's all good stuff. Please post some more detailed photos of the token and see what people think of that. Sorry for being the party pooper, but I really don't think this is a vet hoard.
