6th.MG.BN Posted September 17, 2021 Share #1 Posted September 17, 2021 Early USMC Navy Cross medal group on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/384398170235?hash=item597fea987b:g:UkkAAOSwCeBhQ1M2 . I wasn't going to post it but as you can see by the price it shot to, it looks like "the cat is out of the bag". They are also selling the matching mini medal bar to it https://www.ebay.com/itm/384398175440?hash=item597feaacd0:g:9kUAAOSwntxhQ1TY . Looks like a nice set. I'm sure the experts will chime in.

Eric Queen Posted September 17, 2021 Share #3 Posted September 17, 2021 Award citation doesn't seem all that exciting CITATION: The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Captain Edward B. Moore (MCSN: 0-681), United States Marine Corps, for distinguished service in the line of his profession in successfully filling several important duties from 16 January 1928, to 21 March 1930. In February 1928, Captain Moore marched a train of 185 bull carts carrying badly needed supplies for the 11th Regiment from Leon to Condega, through territory infested with bandits and under adverse conditions of weather and road. From September 1928 to March 1929, as Brigade Commissary Officer and as executive assistant to the Brigade Quartermaster his attention to the many details incident to these offices and his initiative and good judgment under difficult conditions contributed materially to the efficient functioning of the Quartermaster organization of the 2d Brigade, U.S. Marine Corps, in Nicaragua. During the period from March 1929 to October 1929, as aide to the President of Nicaragua he rendered valuable help in his skillful and tactful handling of many problems arising between the Moncada Government and the Marine forces and in the maintenance of friendly relations with the Nicaraguan people.

Ken LOL, you got me on that one Ken. As I've said before, whenever somebody posts a three-hanky weeper about someone linking an eBay auction: There may be a cat, but there was never a bag. If it's on eBay, all eyes are on it. I think you should bid to win... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6th.MG.BN Posted September 26, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted September 26, 2021 I just happened to check on these two auctions as they were ending. Full size medals went for $5,620.00 and mini's went for $860.00. Different bidders. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmpmstr Posted October 6, 2021 Share #6 Posted October 6, 2021 I was glued to them but had to bow out at some point. I knew I’d not be the champion on both so why try to split it up by winning one of them which ended up happening anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KASTAUFFER Posted October 21, 2021 Share #7 Posted October 21, 2021 I think the full sized bar went for a very reasonable price. Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
