And one more nitpicky point.  The bullion dress officer's belt  goes with the Army dress blue uniform, not his West Point uniform.  The belt is great having the matching yellow cavalry branch trim. And the gold aiguillette aide cord goes with any one of his Army uniforms, not the West Point blouse. (In case you're making up a display). That Soviet award document is really something special. 

I do understand your pain though, 30-06 has definitely gotten expensive.

A new addition, a welcome home ribbon for the 27th Indiana Volunteer Light Artillery Battery.  

My mistake! The seller took them off for shipping so I put them back on. They are clip on. And thank you!

The Legion of Merit is engraved! I actually have the citation. Both pics are below!

Thank you! I was very excited to find it all.

Without a blank adapter you would have to cycle each shot by hand and I dont believe you can use any other blank in it than .30-06. We had blank adapters on the M16A1 other wise the bolt wont cycle. Blanks dont have enough power to power the bolt.   https://www.atlanticwallblanks.com/AWB-M-1-BLANK-FIRE-ADAPTER_p_488.html   This place says $65.00 per 100 .30-06   https://leftbehindfirearms.com/re-enactment-blanks        

As I know you already know, this is a post Vietnam War set. But saying that it will display very well.

Thank you!

Yah, It sure is easy to get lost here. sometimes you need to set an alarm to make sure you don’t get to addicted…
