Hello

Is  this purple heart and box WW2 era?  Sorry for the poor picture, but it is all I could get.  The box does not appear to me to be ww2 era, but I am not sure.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

It is VERY possible that the box is WWII era or earlier and could be for the Purple Heart. BB&B issues all came in a blue cardboard box of issue with the number to the medal inked in the corner. Even with the lousy photo, I think it is a WWII piece.

Here are a couple of photo's.  It appears to be an WW2 era PH.  Un-named.  I believe it is Army?  Is that correct?  I think the box may be for a WW2 victory medal.

thank you

It is a WWII medal, with an Army broach.  One concern that I have, and it may be the angle of the picture, is that the drape looks short.  Maybe as if the broach was resewn.  Again, it could just be laying funny too.
