Nkumburis Posted July 24, 2021 Share #1 Posted July 24, 2021 Good Evening, I hope everyones day went well. I picked up this grouping from Master Sergeant William J. Zalewski and wanted to know more about the sword. I have no idea what era its from. Based on MSG Zalewski’s service record: enlisted in 1933 WIA - Iwo Jima China (Tientsin 45-47) Vietnam - 1966 to 1967 Died - Dec 4 67 from a heart attack The sword is probably from before 67 but Id like a second opinion. Thanks again for your time. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
