EGA-DOG Posted February 9, 2019 Share #5 Posted February 9, 2019 Awesome group!!!! The Navy 1915 Haitian Campaign was awarded to Marines, as there wasn't a USMC version of the medal. I believe the block started at #2,500, with a select few officers receiving lower numbers. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeb137 Posted February 9, 2019 Share #8 Posted February 9, 2019 The Bottom Left Corner has a pin, that looks like a Boy Scout Tenderfoot pin. Is that what it is? I can't quite be sure. The BSA was founded in 1910, so that might be a very early pin... Jon B. Newaygo MI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
