Weird to see the stuff of this USAF legend on ebay; it's only 2007 that he passed away.
Robin Olds was a leader by example, WW2 ace and Vietnam era Wing Commander and MiG-killer of Operation Bolo fame.

This material ought to be in a museum, neatly laid out with explanatory boards to show the meaning, background and significance.

One of the call sign tables includes the F-4 crew Pascoe/Wells, who also scored a MiG.

Manions auction house liquidated most of the Olds estate about 3 years ago. I have a friend that bought quite a bit of it.
He was badly in debt and his children sold off a fair amount of his military items to pay it. Most of his WW2 items were indeed donated to a museum before hand though. I'm sure that is where these items were first purchased.
