oldradiostuff Posted March 15, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 15, 2017 I have no relation to the seller, and I wish that I could afford it, but a nice WWI large OLC Purple Heart / Victory medal group with matching miniatures just showed up on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOT-OF-10-WW1-War-MEDALS-AND-RIBBONS-Purple-Heart-W-RARE-OAK-CLUSTER-mini-Heart-/222440282510?hash=item33ca79598e:g:B~QAAOSw4A5YyJxh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldradiostuff Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share #2 Posted March 15, 2017 Looks like David Marks served on the USS New Jersey and USS Indiana. Are those 3 items in the group Naval insignia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim2 Posted March 15, 2017 Share #3 Posted March 15, 2017 it looks like it sold earlier today as a buy it now? http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOT-OF-2-MEDALS-AND-RIBBONS-Purple-Heart-/322452600437?hash=item4b13ac3675:g:T0kAAOSwOddYyDSW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldradiostuff Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted March 15, 2017 I would imagine he got notified that it sold too cheap (probably received higher - maybe much higher) offers so he probably cancelled the earlier transaction and listed them again. Looks like he had the items broken up before, so someone probably told him they went together (except the British items don't, do they?). Just guessing.

LuftStalg1 Posted March 15, 2017 Share #5 Posted March 15, 2017 He must have found the other stuff so relisted it for more. Still seems cheep. I wouldn't sell mine for less then that by itself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldradiostuff Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share #6 Posted March 15, 2017 Annnnd - it's sold. That was quick. I guess it was a good price for someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcmo Posted March 15, 2017 Share #7 Posted March 15, 2017 Congrats to the new owner. Last counter offer from the seller to me was $1100 so I'm guessing someone grabbed it for that. I found a David Marks 165th Infantry Regiment, 42nd Division that was WIA. Bars on the WWI Victory link to either the 42nd or 28th. Too much for me to risk without the AGO card to confirm the LOLC.

oldradiostuff Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share #8 Posted March 15, 2017 Someone actually paid the full 1500. My son wrote some code for me that allows me to see offer history (not user ID, just amounts) and it sold for the full 1500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtA Posted March 15, 2017 Share #9 Posted March 15, 2017 Looks like David Marks served on the USS New Jersey and USS Indiana. Are those 3 items in the group Naval insignia? The one that looks like a USN officer's insignia is actually US Coast and Geodetic Survey. The cannon is British Royal Artillery. The other is a souvenir USN WW1 overseas pin.

Dave Posted March 15, 2017 Share #10 Posted March 15, 2017 It's an interesting group...I wonder what the relationship is between the British medals and the PH recipient. I kicked around the idea of doing the BIN at $1500, but I'm trying to save my money for things more "up my alley" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanemono Posted March 15, 2017 Share #11 Posted March 15, 2017 The British medals are named. Here is the name on the star. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinO Posted March 15, 2017 Share #13 Posted March 15, 2017 Looks like David Marks served on the USS New Jersey and USS Indiana. Are those 3 items in the group Naval insignia? M/165th Infantry, Rainbow Division. WIA 3/22/18, 9/12/18 and again severely 9/15/18 (third date is crossed out so who knows). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanormalTrooper Posted March 15, 2017 Share #14 Posted March 15, 2017 Very interesting grouping, does anyone know about how long these are up before eBay sees the Purple Heart and takes em down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldradiostuff Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share #15 Posted March 15, 2017 M/165th Infantry, Rainbow Division. WIA 3/22/18, 9/12/18 and again severely 9/15/18 (third date is crossed out so who knows). I'm wondering if they discovered that the 9/15 was actually a duplication of the wound on 9/12 so they corrected it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuftStalg1 Posted March 17, 2017 Share #16 Posted March 17, 2017 Think this is him. Gassed twice, looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
