The M17 Tomb of the Unknown Pistols are unique M17 pistols that were created using the same specifications for the U.S. Army’s M17 Modular Handgun System. The ceremonial pistols are 9mm striker-fired pistols with a non-railed aluminum grip module, stainless steel slide, wood grip inserts, a 21-round magazine, and features the same optic cut as specified by the MHS contract, front night sight, removable rear plate, and black controls. The pistols also feature a high polish to withstand the inclement weather while the Tomb Sentinels stand guard.

The unique distinguishing features for the M17 Tomb of the Unknown Pistols include:

Pistol Names: each of the four pistols bears the name of Silence, Respect, Dignity, or Perseverance and is featured on the dust cover. Dignity and Perseverance represent “The Sentinel’s Creed,” and Silence and Respect represent the request to the public by Arlington National Cemetery when visiting the Tomb of the Unknown, and during the Changing of the Guard;

Custom Wood Grips: in 1921 the chosen Unknown was transported to the United States of America aboard the USS Olympia. The custom wood grips are made with wood from the USS Olympia and include the crest of the 3rd Guard, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier identification badge inset;

Cocking Serrations: XXI cocking serrations are engraved on the slide to signify the twenty-one steps it takes for the Tomb Sentinels to walk by the Tomb of the Unknowns and the military honor of a 21 Gun Salute;

Sight Plate: an engraved impression of the Greek Figures featured on the east panel of the Tomb – Peace, Victory, and Valor – are featured on the sight plate;

Sights: a glass insert made with marble dust from the Tomb of the Unknown fills the sights of the ceremonial pistols;

Engraved Magazines: the 21-round magazines feature an aluminum base plate engraved with the names of the Greek figures featured on the Tomb of the Unknown – Peace, Victory, and Valor – and include a name plate on the bottom of the magazine engraved with the Tomb Sentinel badge number.

Serial Numbers: the pistols are serialized with a unique set of serial numbers that incorporate items of significance to the Old Guard: “LS” represents line six of the Sentinels’ Creed, “My standard will remain perfection; “02JUL37” to signify the first 24-hour guard posted at the Tomb of the Unknown on July 3, 1937; “21” to signify the 21 steps it takes the Tomb Sentinels to walk by the Tomb of the Unknown, and the military honor of a 21 Gun Salute. The full series of M17 Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Pistols serial numbers are LS02JUL37A21 (Silence), LS02JUL37B21 (Respect), LS02JUL37C21 (Dignity), LS02JUL37D21 (Perseverance).

The M17 Tomb of the Unknown Pistols will be presented to the Old Guard in an official ceremony on Thursday, October 11, 2018 at the Arlington National Cemetery Chapel. The ceremony will begin at 9:00am and include a private presentation ceremony, followed by a Changing of the Guard in which the 3rd Guard soldiers will return to duty with their M17 Tomb of the Unknown Pistols. The presentation ceremony will conclude at 10:15am with a wreath laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Das Schulterabzeichen der 82nd Airborne Division?

Warum sollte das ein "Fehler" sein?

Weil ich es als Frage formuliert habe?


Ansonsten aber vielen Dank für die Ausführungen!

Der Mann wird wahrscheinlich bei einer gemeinsamen Übung, Austausch, Lehrgang o.ä. einen Patch erhalten haben (wahrscheinlich Kenya Defence Forces SF (SOR?)), den darf er dann wohl auch tragen, ähnlich wie eben auch das US-amerikanische Militär es erlaubt, an der rechten Seite Abzeichen von Einheiten zu tragen, mit denen man vormals gedient hat.

Ob das hier der Fall ist, weiss ich nicht, es kommt aber immer wieder vor, dass Einheiten Abzeichen von anderen Einheiten kopieren.

Vielleicht könnte Hummingbird ja einfach mal aufklären wo für ihn der 'Fehler' liegt.

Ich kann jetzt leider auch nicht für Klarheit sorgen. Der Patch kam mir seltsam vor.

@ Nite: Das ist jetzt aber auch deinerseits pure Spekulation, wir wissen einfach nicht wie da genau die internen Vorschriften hinsichtlich der Uniform beim kenianischen Militär aussehen, deshalb würde ich sagen in dubio pro reo.

Man darf auch nicht vergessen, dass der Mann Angehöriger einer Spezialeinheit ist, da sind ja die Vorschriften im Einsatz oft etwas entspannter.

Munition im Fass

Wieso sollte man Munition so dermassen unpraktisch verpacken? Wieso nicht palettisieren? Das Zeug ist doch schweineschwer.
