Dirk Posted May 31, 2021 Share #1 Posted May 31, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share #7 Posted May 31, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brig Posted May 31, 2021 Share #9 Posted May 31, 2021 NCO...that's an NCO sword and a P1908 cap emblem, plus no collars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share #10 Posted June 1, 2021 Brig thanks! But where are the stripes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted June 1, 2021 Share #11 Posted June 1, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share #12 Posted June 1, 2021 Brig I thought the enlisted wore whites until 1912....logic dictates he is enlisted but IDK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
