    I am looking for the following items for my shadow box:

    1. Petty Officer 3rd Class Silver Ball Cap Pin;
    2. Army Corporal and Buck Sergeant brass colored lapel pins;
    3. Air Force Master Sergeant lapel pin with the chevron on top;
    4. Army Expert Qualification Badge with the M16, Pistol and hand grenade hangers.

    If any of you have any of these at home and don't mind getting rid of them, please PM me on how much you want.

    Thank you.

    Are you looking for the silver MSgt lapel pin? I work next door to clothing sales. I should have one laying around but I can get one of those if you'd like.

    Thank you. There used to be a PX at the Reserve Center on the south side of town that had Navy, Army and Air Force items. When the vast majority of military reserves were activated and sent overseas in the early 2000's, they shut the PX down and never opened it back up when they came back.

    I may have some Class A Sgt. rank in my box of old crap. I know I have some SSG rank. I think I have some pin ons somewhere. The only marksman ship ones I have are on my class A's, which seem to have shrank since I got out in 08.

    Thank you all. I looked online and it was going to cost about $200 to completely redo my stuff for a shadow box so I'll make do with what I can get. I'd like to get this finished up and off he list. God Bless.

    Mark, if you still need one I can swing by the uniform shop on base and pick up a third class crow for you. Do you want the brushed look or the high polish?

    I hope you post pics when you have your shadow box finished, I've been thinking of doing one for myself.

    Mark,

    We went to the uniform shop on base and they were out of the PO3 ball cap devices. They did have the PO3 collar devices, but they are considerably smaller than what you asked for. I did pick up a set of those just in case you can make them work. If not, I'll check back Monday after work to see if they got any more in.

    Let me know.

    Got one, Mark. Well, sort of. They were still out of the PO3 cap devices but they did have a set of the PO3 Jacket/Epaulet devices which are the same size but it's two; one facing left and one facing right. I'm pretty sure you would use the one with the eagle facing left (the one on the bottom) for your shadow box.

    PM me your address and I'll get them out to you ASAP. I'll send the collar devices too since I don't have any use for them. Better yet, I'll PM you my phone number and you can text me your address. That way I will have it with me tomorrow at work.

    I couldn't find the SGT rank. I work close to Ft. Campbell. Let me know if you need anything, I'm heading to the class six sometime this week or early next week. I'll be in the area and pick up what you need.
