Looking for info on the photo I picked up. What era and what is the medal he is wearing? Nothing on the back. Thanks for the help.

WW1 and sharpshooter's medal.....Bodes

Yes shooting medal but thinking 30s or early/pre WW2 the EGAs look like post WW1

Just going by the appearance of the photo looking to be WW1, but agree EGA's look later, Bodes

I would say 1920's

Right!

Has a WW1 tone to the photo.Maybe some can confirm the ega pattern

I tried to get a better pic of the EGA, but it gets to blurry.

1920s-1930s, likely 20s. Collar emblems weren't authorized for enlisted until 1920...those are also the 1920 pattern emblems
