Brig Posted November 13, 2014 Share #1 Posted November 13, 2014 This sold awhile back on eBay for $2000. It was relisted several times, was hoping the price would come down but finally it had a hit. Has 3 enlisted spiked helmet devices, some cover emblems and buttons, all strung on wire in a heart shape with space for 3 photos. Were all silver washed at one time. This was creative and probably cost the Marine a few bucks for all those helmet emblems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobgee Posted November 14, 2014 Share #10 Posted November 14, 2014 Certainly unique! In the first pic it looks like a frame that could hold two cabinet photos. Maybe? Thanks for posting. Semper Fi......Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarCorp67 Posted November 14, 2014 Share #12 Posted November 14, 2014 Brig, I looked long and hard at this and like you I finally determined that it was overpriced for the shape it was in. I originally thought the emblems might be officer emblems based on the silver color of the globes and what appeared to be gilding on the continents but because the backs were also silver I decided that had been painted at some point. Would be interesting to hear from the buyer if they turned out to be officer emblems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share #13 Posted November 14, 2014 I, too, at first thought they may be officer, but also didn't like the paint job for an original officer piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
