This item is in the exact condition it was in when we found it, mounted to the board just as it sits and we did not want to disturb it. Another great part about this lot is it came from the estate of a famous ww2 b52 bomber pilot by the name of Colonel Elwyn "Stubbs" Warfle. He is also the author of the book "one lucky bastard" which speaks to his experiences as a pilot in ww2.
Colonel Warfle recently passed in 2022 at the age of 98. We have also acquired multiple other items from the beautiful Mount Vernon estate including other military / ww2 related items, books, multiple personal effects, paper goods, etc. Please message us with any questions!
