Howdy guys,

I found this gem tucked away in Sarge's around 2003 or 2004 (don't know if it is still there but it was the military surplus store next to north gate barber shop across the street from hollicks) and I paid maybe $5-$10 bucks for it. Anybody remember it? I've had it tucked away for years and came back across it a few days ago.

Thanks guys!!!!!

Kendo stick. Not Corps related other than someone in the Corps once owned it.

Disclaimer: looks to have been passed through several hands. So it may be meaningful to one outfit, though I don't know why

As said previously, not Corps related. They were floating around in the early '80s. Sold at the Army Surplus store across from the Main Gate on Texas. I still have mine.

I'm sure it was some kind of outfit passdown and it did hold any significance to an outfit or a poster I would definitely be willing to reunite with them.

Could the sports illustrated reference be to E-1?

I appreciate your concern, but I doubt if it is that significant. I don't think "sports illustrated" has any outfit tie in. But maybe someone knows otherwise and can tell us.

E-1 didn't have anything like that as a pass down that I remember (95-99). But I guess it could have been from before or after.

I'm not sure a pass down like that would end up in a surplus store especially if the outfit was/is still around.
