Does anyone know the date the Marine Corps and Navy stopped using wide ribbons? Thanks for the help.

I believe it was 1947-49, though you sometimes see them still in use after that date by WWII veterans who had no need to update their racks. I have one set of Marine ribbons made in Japan for a Korea vet that is 1/2" but I consider this unusual and unauthorized.

 

I actually posted here and just found it again trying to answer your question:
