Eric Queen Posted September 6, 2010 Share #1 Posted September 6, 2010 Nice 100% original set to Carl J. Bleifus. He served with the 18th Co. 5th Marines then with Co. E (the one marine company) of Pershing's Composite Rgt. I thought I would show the group before I put it out there for trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belleauwood Posted September 7, 2010 Share #22 Posted September 7, 2010 Eric, Outside the few on this forum, and those that have been fortunate enough to see your collection in person, will a rare group like this be seen anywhere. I for one have my own Holy Grails. A Marine Aviator, A Navy Corpsman (attached to USMC), and a Composite Regiment Marine grouping. You have provided to me the great pleasure to see a study the last of the three. I cannot thank you enough for bringing this great group up for all (me) to see. Kindest Regards, Dennis Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
