dskjl Posted October 31, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 31, 2016 I found this group on Ebay a bit late so i couldn't keep it all together but i got some of it. The seller told me he bought this all at the estate auction, much of what was sold went for big bucks and the family kept most of the militaria.

Medalman90 Posted November 2, 2016 Share #15 Posted November 2, 2016 Nice find! Are any of his medals named? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskjl Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share #16 Posted November 2, 2016 I don't have it yet but I understand the family kept all the named medals. I'm glad the held onto some of there dads special pieces, too often they are thrown out or lost because of a lack of interest. More pics once it's all here.

hink441 Posted November 3, 2016 Share #17 Posted November 3, 2016 I received the Admiral's belt buckle today. This is a buckle he had made when he was a USN Captain and was the 7th Fleet Intel Officer. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dskjl Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share #19 Posted November 4, 2016 The uniform showed up today and its in very good shape, no named medals but a very nice piece. The admiral was pretty big guy 50 long jacket and 44 athletic pants and long. The silver medallion in post #4 may be 7oz of silver, fingers crossed this could be my lucky day.

dskjl Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share #20 Posted November 5, 2016 Well, i haven't tested it but cant find any marking suggesting it's anything other than silver filled, I can see a sprue with a tinge of copper color to it so i'm going with silver filled.

PhilippineBuckles Posted October 28, 2017 Share #23 Posted October 28, 2017 I just came across this thread, but I'll add that I was able to buy an oval belt buckle (for a civilian belt) that was probably made at the same time as the rectangular uniform belt buckle Chris picked up when these came up on ebay in 2016. Does anyone know what the 1630 is referring to on these two buckles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hink441 Posted October 28, 2017 Share #24 Posted October 28, 2017 Great looking buckle!! I remember this one. I know he was an Intel Officer, and I thought the 1360 or 1630 was an officer designator code, but I can't find a 1360 or a 1630 designator code used by the Navy. Maybe Dave would know???
