katieony Posted April 18, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 18, 2020 Here is an interesting China Marine souvenir plaque from 1937-1938. The metal shield has two engraved dragons, "U.S. MARINES" and "TO JIMMY FROM RUBEN / EXPEDITIONARY / SHANGHAI CHINA / 1937-38". There is also an applied Eagle, Globe and Anchor as well as two 30-06 rounds. Unfortunately, I do not have any information on "Jimmy" or "Ruben". Still an interesting and beautiful souvenir from pre-war China! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
