Found these in a bag of mixed ribbon bars today in  shop. Three marked Hilborn-Hamburger ribbon bars and a PUC with 2 stars. What do you think of these and what time period? Thanks SteveScan_20200529.jpg.7f8054f6571c72d371b2650885cb04af.jpg1278844112_Scan_20200529(2).jpg.fbefd2ee4889e0941b1e204453fb45f9.jpg

KR,

The PUC should have Oak Leaf Clusters and not campaign stars. I am not an SME but the three VK ribbons have been seen post-WW2 uniforms and later into the  early '60s, and mostly USN and USMC, but because of the Korean PUC and the other two having the same patent number I would say early 1950's forward. A more knowledgeable member of the forum may be able to better define that time window of their use.

 

Have you considered googling the VK and patent number to see if you can figure it out? If so let us know what you learn.

R

John
