You are welcome. 

Found this cleaning out the basement.  Can't remember when or where I got it.  Anyway, based on the stenciling, I think I pieced-together that it represents a private in Co F, 23rd Marines, 4th Marine Division. Would anyone be able to pull any info on Private C. Edmiston, Jr?   Curious as to when he served and where he saw service with the 4th Marine Division in WW2. Thanks!

Here is a photo of Madame Chiang awarding Cloud and Banners to members of the Doolittle Raid in 1942.   These must have very low numbers.   (Jimmy Doolittle is in the background ... he got a 3rd Class).   Next to him is Colonel John Hilger who got a 6th.  About to be awarded is Captain Henry Potter).

Hi, New here, thanks for having me.   I picked up this guidon at a flea market recently and wonder if it's authentic and from about when, or maybe it's a prop reproduction. Either way, it's a nice addition to the collection and I'm happy to have it.   No tag. Measures 38" x 25 1/2". Leather straps on top and bottom inside the pole sleeve.   Any insights appreciated. Thanks.

Here is another example (not mine) of a 6th class in a sliding top wood "inner" box.   Outer box not present.

Yeah, the rocket is intetesting. I am guessing a souvenir he sent home?

Adda91,    Thanks. I meant H-3. My fingers move faster than my brain sometimes 😜

That isn’t that bad of an idea it’s just if I displayed one part then I would be covering another. The graffiti is on either side of the cover. Thank you though! 

You could frame that small graffitied bit, not sure what you would do with the excess material, but a thought…
