A Pair of China Marine Metal Frames


Recommended Posts

Had bought the larger one from a forum member several years ago and was surprised to find it also came in a smaller version recently. I imagine given the weight of the larger frame it took up a lot of room in a seabag. Btw these are not sterling silver, but just finished to look that way

Thanks guys! Always amazed at how much Shanghai, Peking, and Tientsin tailored their products to sell to the Marines. Agree Brig...cool pix, but is it an officer or NCO? It is clearly earlier then the frame

Did they wear them in dress whites? I see no sign of an officer rank on the shoulders, either.

 

I'm pretty certain he's enlisted. Worse case maybe he was a private just posing with a buddy's sword for the look of the portrait
