Nice finds. The buttons (Rivet/Snap buttons) ID escapes me. I tried several different search patterns and came up blank.

Sorry I couldn't help, maybe in the morning my brain will be clearer.

Nice finds, they look like snap fasteners to me. Maybe from a canvas bag of some sort?

I think you are right, but what the GS mean we don't know

I wonder if back then you could have gotten personalized fasteners made with your initials? Do you know of any records of the P-51?

Maybe but the soldiers name was Jack D. Hodge.

Well that blows that theory. Hopefully somebody will come along and answer the question.

GS = General Services. Could this plane have been piloted by a British pilot ?
