For those in the know, what does the big P mean on this box? Thank you for your response.

Awesome grouping, I got to find a grouping from H/2/1 too last summer.  Mine was a machine gunner. 

Hi there, first time posting here. Here’s mine. Seems like a 42-44 to me. 

I would guess it's earlier than sicily, I don't see any other boats in the background, or any indication that is an active combat zone there landing in. I am thinking it might be practice landing prior to sicily in NA. Also, the officer to the front is not loaded up for combat and seems to be instructing rather than preparing to hit the beach.

Here is a real one   

After seeing the price climb on this medal, I figured I should post it here.   This engraving on this medal is bad in my opinion.    It mirrors other bad engraving from the 1980's-90s from a known faker in Detroit.  Once you have seen a real one, the bad ones stick out like a sore thumb.   

will do, thanks for the recommendation!

Agree the helmet itself looks fine.  It’s just that strip of white paint, that adds $1000 to the price,  that is in question.

That makes a lot of sense, thanks for the reply!
