kcmo Posted December 19, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 19, 2014 All, Just picked this up and from what I could find on the forum and other collector sites this appears to be post wwii engraving around the Korean War time period. Is that correct? If so how long was this used for? I could only locate information on him on the WWII Enlistment website so not sure he was wounded in Korea or WWII. Thanks for the assistance.

KASTAUFFER Posted December 20, 2014 Share #4 Posted December 20, 2014 The engraving looks like its more recent than Korean War to me. Its hard to tell from the photo provided. Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
