Mameluke Medals, Ribbons, Insignia, Paperwork Pics etc

I posted some of Ralph Raymond Kimble USMC PFC Aviation 1943 thru Ranks to WO1 and 2 - 1st Lt and then Retired a Capt. in 1965. Mostly in my original post I was looking for info on him and opinions on me getting a replacement grip for his H&H German made (Small piece top edge gone) mameluke sword . I now had time to go thru paperwork etc and display most in my room. In 40's and 50's he was a gunner/radioman in a Dauntless Dive Bomber and was mentioned in a period book of same title, as well as other Wings in KW. During Vietnam he went to alot of schools including one of the USAF. He had a Top Secret Clearance and alot of paper regarding his acceptance of top secret paperwork and items and then more paperwork swearing on 5 pages of secret materials had been destroyed or returned thru proper channels. I bet his activity in the mid 60's in VN as well as Japan and stateside would be interesting if it is available. Richard

I dont think I'd mess with it, Leave it as is. Somethings are best left alone...IMO. Cool display....
