Airborne-Hunter Posted March 16, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 16, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne-Hunter Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted March 16, 2020 If you haven't spotted it yet. Try this one. This one confirmed it in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne-Hunter Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted March 16, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easterneagle87 Posted March 16, 2020 Share #4 Posted March 16, 2020 The.... A. Walrus tusk cribbage board? which my mom has one and I will inherit B. The merchant marine bullion hat device? C. Or the dagger in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Crow 1986 Posted March 16, 2020 Share #8 Posted March 16, 2020 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!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan H. Posted March 16, 2020 Share #11 Posted March 16, 2020 What about the 116th Infantry DUI? Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne-Hunter Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share #12 Posted March 16, 2020 What about the 116th Infantry DUI? Allan 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnertwo Posted March 16, 2020 Share #13 Posted March 16, 2020 Great purchase! USMM items are underrated and rare, IMNSHO. I have an attributed MSM but unfortunately not the documents. Bravo Sir! G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
