Ted,

You are correct. I purchased that one in PA. I do not think the store owner has removed the picture from the website.

Gunnar;

From what Steve has told me, there were several RON 15 Officers and crew in the Philadelphia area after the war. So, I would say you have found the real deal. Nice.
Take care,
TED

All;
Here are two PT 60 RON 3(2) originals from LT Raymond Sopher, He was Skipper of PT 60 after Lennie Thom rotated back to the states.










Frank also has an original Emblem from PT 37 RON 3(2), which has to be the only nice looking thing left of this boat.
Take care,
TED

The plaques are mine, and I thank Ted for posting them for me. I have the original RON 37 boat plaque as well, but it is packed away. I will try to get a photo so you can see it.

I have in my possession an original Ron Emblem (plaque) approx. 10" diameter that has the two pistoled mosquito. It looks exactly like the green one you posted. My dad, Waldren Richard Fannin, was on PT 60 with Lennie Thom and later on PT 61 with Joe Atkinson. Dad was Joe's cook & 40mm gun captain & friend even after the war.

Came across a photo of the 212 boat with the Ron insignia mounted on the starboard, forward side of the cockpit.
