scottvez, thank you.
Yes, it was. I have several items he brought back I could use some help identifying.
It is fantastic to have a family member that appreciates the items!
I'd be happy to help ID any of your father's WW2 finds. If I am stumped, I am sure that one of the other militaria guys on this site will know the answer.
