Hello I was wondering if anyone can help with an Army Cuban Pacification medal that I received that was dug at Ft. Leavenworth, I have cleaned the rim and it appears to have the No. 1172 but it is weak so not 100% positive, If anyone can tell me who it was awarded to and if that person served at Leavenworth it would be appreciated, if not I will buy the book by Apgar? Thanks in advance Don

45govt- About 5 years ago split a new box like this with a buddy. The box cost us $325. He sold all 3 of his, I sold two at $125 each, kept one for myself. Made my investment money back plus, and got a knife in the process. I believe $1500 is way too high. The PAL 36 is a pretty common knife, and a lot are in new condition. Still, if someone wants a mint box of PAL 36 blades bad enough. Curious to see how his sale goes. THX for posting. SKIP

Hello Here is a photo I have had in my accumulation for awhile, it was taken in Arizona and is of a possible mounted infantry? The interesting items are the moccasins and the Schofield in his belt.

Hello I checked out with a friend, Sheldon Wickershim who wrote the attached book and his response: "As to Frank's knife, it's a solid late 1943 vintage RMK #1 fighter" Hope that helps
