Greetings fellow collectors,   I am a small business owner in the Midwest. I love all things militaria, but in particular WWII and aviation... Oh yea, and guns.   I love building scale models as well even though I don't have the attention span to finish anything.   I have a modest collection of wings, patches, maps, and firearms.   Looking forward to learning more and contributing to the forum!

Charles K. Duncan served as Chief of Naval Personnel from April 5, 1968 to August 21, 1970.  The chief of naval personnel oversees the Bureau of Naval Personnel (BUPERS).  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_of_Naval_Personnel   I love that we can put a 1968-1970 date range on the buckle.  

Hello,   I would think it's worth $250 to $400.  Nice medal.   Semper Fi, Bruce Linz

Thank you for the great information - I really appreciate it!

Thank you everyone for the responses. It is much appreciated. 

You have a good start to the impression...   I still have much of my 1980s gear stored away.. After I got out it stayed packed in my duffel bag and is still packed today...   Most of the items are new or newer since I kept two sets, one for use in the field and the other set used for inspections. After serving 22 years most the items that I was inistally issued were no longer used and I did not have to turn the items in...   Not really needing much of it anymore...   Leigh   

Awesome display! Mine will get there eventually! 

Another Admiral buckle up on the 'bay,  Seller's description: Vintage 1960s Philippines Made US Navy Belt Buckle - Vice Admiral - Charles K Duncan. -Vietnam era. The second line of the description is a little mis-leading as it reads.... Charles K Duncan retired a Four Star Admiral in WWII.  Not picking on the seller, but we know this not to be true as the buckle is labeled as "VN era", long after WW2 ended and per wiki, didn't attain flag rank until 1958.   Charles Kenney Duncan (December 7, 1911 – June 27, 1994) was a United States Navy four star admiral who served as Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic/Commander in Chief, United States Atlantic Command/Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic Fleet (SACLANT/CINCLANT/CINCLANTFLT) from 1970 to 1972. As Supreme Allied Commander, Atlantic, he conducted the largest NATO naval exercises held until that time. He received the Order of Orange-Nassau from the Netherlands, and the Grand Cross of the Order of Aviz from Portugal. He retired from the U.S. Navy on November 1, 1972, as a full admiral.    Nice buckle, but at the listed price of $549.99, even got an offer of $350, just WAAAYY TOOO MUCH
