Arrived late to Ft Worth show...most of the vendors had blown the place..but 2 really good vendors/collectors were left. Had long conversation with one from Ft. Hood area...long discussion of QM Corps unit DIs and his collecting interests and current missing pieces. My own interest is in collecting the DIs from the 8ID supporting and tenant units including the 504th, 505th, and 509th Abn Inf Regiments , and the Abn School at Weisbaden AB. The first 2 were moved to the 82nd Abn and the 509th to SETAF in '73...so I will have fun looking for these and some other rarities at the upcoming shows listed below. Had a good time...old soldiers never die....

Ill keep an eye out for any of those DIs, Ill let you know via PM if I locate any along with vendors contact info. (always willing to help out a fellow collector and board member).
Im currently hunting down ODA patches from the 20th Grp, sandbox made of course. Im also looking for ROK SF Brigade pocket patches.
Funny thing about those ASMIC shows, you have to be the early bird, the one here at Ft Belvoir is done before noon. On the bright side it will allow for a trip to G Petersons "mecca" like establishment at National Capitol Historical Sales or perhaps a trip to the Corps new Museum at Quantico.
Im considering making the trip out to the ASMIC convention but its still up in the air.

Happy hunting!!
