otter42 Posted January 2, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 2, 2021 Picked this up a couple years ago along with a very nice USN 1944 Victory shoulder holster. A name or ? has been etched into the back. The best I can tell, it says O T SAAW. Totally stumped on this one, anyone have any Ideas? Thanks Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reforger Posted January 2, 2021 Share #2 Posted January 2, 2021 Not sure if you already know this, but the Good Conduct Medal is the newer version so the medal bar probably dates to around the 1960‘s. The medals for WWII service are older pieces though. I don‘t have access to the US Navy muster rolls, but you should be able to look up the last name and find out where and when he served.

otter42 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted January 3, 2021 I tried that route too, but no luck, and I just can't seem to get those letters to be anything but Saaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
