Questions: WWII USNR Dog Tag & Theater Made Ribbon Bars

[mds308]

Found this group from the same seller.  No history known.  I have a bunch of questions?

1.  When was this style dog tag discontinued?

2.  Why was there no Good Conduct Ribbon?  Assuming he never messed up.

3.  Where these ribbons made in Asia? Philippines?

 

I found these together but I realize that doesn't mean they belong together.

Thanks for your help.

One more question.  

 

What is the ribbon on the lowest left bar with applied anchor?  

[unclegrumpy]

The ribbon with the anchor is the Vietnamese Navy Gallantry Cross.  The most likely reason for no Good Conduct medal ribbon is he was an officer his entire career.

Thanks unclegrumpy.  I just found out, thanks to aznation, he retired as a USN Commander.  He served in WWII, Korea and Vietnam.  Unfortunately, he died in 1985.  He was only 63 years old.  The ribbons definitely belonged to him.

My bad.  He retired as a Captain.

I may be wrong but it seems like he served in the navy reserve and Merchant Marine

The dog tag is from the Korean War period.
