Saw the email for an estate sale this last week and I spotted something in the pictures. Before scrolling down see if you can spot it. Best ABN

If you haven't figured it out yet. Here's what I came home with. I figured that little black case had to be a Mariners Medal, Meritorious, or DSM. So I got there super early and went to the cases first. Found the medal. Found the shellback, citation and the photo in the hallway. The hats were in the closet.

Good to know that I'm not the only one who enlarges, scans, studies estate sale photos like some high stakes game of "Where's Waldo?"

 

Great catch and like Mr. Jerry said, "Nice to keep history from being spread into the winds!"

What about the 116th Infantry DUI?

Looks like a 116th DI. The whole bag is actually enameled Norwegian flag lapel pins. I picked them up because the sailor was born in Norway. They're not shown.

Great purchase! USMM items are underrated and rare, IMNSHO. I have an attributed MSM but unfortunately not the documents. Bravo Sir!
