Do you know how many still exist have any been destroyed

Butlers medal is on display at the Marine Corps Museum, John T. Myers sold recently off this forum, Percival Popes I think is on display at the Navy Memorial Museum, Buck Nevilles is in the Marine Corps Museum but not on display, and I thought there was one on display at the Marine Corps Club in San Francisco.

I'll be at Pleasant Hill, where Green was wounded, next month. Annual trip! I know a couple of the locals who located the 173rd's rifle pits on the battlefield .....and a very nice jacket you have there. Thanks for sharing!

Wow Matt, absolutely beautiful collection. I had no idea of the variety. Thank you for posting your collection.   Tom

How many Marine Corps Brevet Medals are on display vs in private collections and how many still exist.

I’ve actually been to the house of a forum member/ dealer who doesn’t have much militaria in his house, but has an outbuilding devoted to his collection. It is larger than my entire house. It is all beautifully laid out. I could only dream such a thing for myself. I have a small corner of our bedroom and a corner of our garage. It’s mostly stored in boxes and stuffed into closets.  mikie

UPDATE: The grouping is now SOLD PENDING FINAL PAYMENT. Thank you to everyone for the interest.
