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.

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.

I recognize the "hand" that engraved this medal...I've had other WWII USMC posthumous PHs engraved with the swooping R

Are you still in possession of this medal? My mother-in- law is his sister. Verification can be presented. Thank you!
