6th.MG.BN Posted August 15, 2019 Share #13 Posted August 15, 2019 That was a nice group. Were you able to keep the Kbar, dog tags and ribbons together? I also thought he was a tanker in the first Tank Battalion, according to sellers info and other items? Congrats, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stony Posted August 15, 2019 Share #14 Posted August 15, 2019 Although this is an Elgin, it looks identical to my dad's 1942 dated Bulova. The only difference is the Bulova has U.S.A. (US Army) and a serial number on the back. This is actually the first USMC issue watch I've seen. Very cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
