      Yes and no, I thought the same thing regarding the correct position of the design of the badge, but the inverted copihue, although not common, is often used in government designs like the ones I will show you now taken from the Internet, although to be honest I don't know what its correct position is. an other example (MOP; ministerio de obras publicas)

      Thanks, I appreciate the response. Anyone have thoughts on the sling?

      If it is a Copihue then it is wrong way around.

      When I was on the USS Proteus AS-19 a submarine tender a repair ship. We were in Diego Garcia we were at anchor we have a forward and aft anchor so the ship doesn't swing. We serviced any type of ship that came along side. Well, the HMS Sheffield came along side for some repairs. They used our liberty boats to get to shore we got to check out their ship as they did to ours. Noticed in the berthing space they had carpets we had a cold tile deck in ours and another thing a bar on board. Do remember a Australian submarine that had beer stored in a torpedo tube. After the repairs he headed for the Falklands war, and it got hit by a missile and did not make it. Our ship felt for the crew and in our cruise book they put a memorial in the book. I saw this plaque on eBay and bought it. Somehow it got the states without a tariff added to it.

      Hello, I know a little about what that badge is, but I don't know the details. That badge was created and given privately to the handful of Chilean soldiers who went to fight for Germany during World War II, voluntarily and unofficially. I don't know if they fought for the army or the SS, that's all I know. The flower is a Copihue, Chile's national flower. I also have one of those badges, and I know it belonged to a Chilean army general.

      You will get a response on the US military forum as this looks to be a US item.

      Great find!  Indeed it is a WW II Australian See-thru handle knife.  Sometimes you do get lucky, that's why I love the unmarked stuff.

      Hello all - have had this large piece of fabric since childhood, acquired at some Army-Navy store. It does not glow under blacklight. Is it military? Old hunting camo? Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

      Cap appears to be a World War 1 era item and features an interesting insignia attached.  I did not find any information about the insignia yet.  The cap also has some 'piping' under the sweat band in the interior as shown.  No names nor maker's marks.  Have not identified it "US".  Will post it on USMF for comments also.                 Thoughts, comments or suggested references are appreciated.
