Grouping belonging to Colonel Greg “Pappy” Boyington of Black Sheep Squadron Fame

Though never having achieved General officer rank, I think Pappy’s items are well worth inclusion in this section…in fact, a Medal Of Honor recipient ranks above any General in my book.  Offered here is a large grouping of items once belonging to Pappy Boyington to include his Bush jacket, USMC hat, Japanese capture papers and a white house invitation to his MOH ceremony, amongst many other items that were in his possession.  This is an opportunity to own items belonging to one of the United States most well known war hero’s from WW2, one who even spawned a weekly U.S. Television show about his famed squadron, called “Baa, Baa Black Sheep”.

Heer Artillery Officer Tunic

Heer (Army) Oberleutnant, Artillery Observation Battalion 6. Tailor made, tricot Old style officer service tunic with six button front and two buttons on back.  For those of you who are suspect of all the mint officer tunics showing up on the market at an increasing rate, this is a nice, salty, old example showing plenty of wear.  Lots of snags, small repairs, soiling, and small holes (mostly in the back, displays well from the front).  Breast eagle looks to be replaced and one of the “6” ciphers on the shoulderboards may be a replacement as well.  Name tag has been removed.
