Austin_Militaria Posted May 10, 2019 Share #1 Posted May 10, 2019 Picked this up in an antique shop in Orange TX. Seems to me that this is a USN Type III medal. The engraving seems unusual as does the 3 stars for previous awards. Named to CPL Henry Ravey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_Smith Posted May 10, 2019 Share #2 Posted May 10, 2019 Engraving is totally correct. The stars have been mounted on the ribbon correctly as well. It will take some research to determine if the stars are accurate, but all indications look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
