But then, I figured anyone who could help Al would know what the blazes a DI is. - Bill ] I am looking for a source to by some DI's. I am a collector of WWII thru Korea militaria and am looking for a couple of different pairs of DI's for some uniforms I own. If anyone out there in netland can give me some ideas where I might be able to purchase them, I would really appreciate the info. If anyone has any uniforms or medals they would like to sell, I would be interested in talking with you. Please reply by e-mail. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - Al Seaman - - alse@tekig6.PEN.TEK.com - - Beaverton, OR - - - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I assume DI's means 'distinctive insignia'. A year or so ago, I got the names
of some places here in New York which sell these- I have >not< purchased
anything at these places, so I do not vouch for them. But:
Kaufman's
Don't know exact address, but probably in the 40's or on
8th Avenue
Gateway Hobby
West 38th street
Traders
Canal Street
Or try the Naval Historical Society, in Washington DC.
Good luck!
Chris
