Thanks for all the good information. I do have a question about the mention of Rock Island in regard to the medal. Is that where most medals were made or is there a makers mark that indicates they were the manufacturer. Learning a lot from you guys! -

I did find a reference for this insignia. Looks like it could be nursing from Columbia or other Spanish speaking nation. -

Though I guess it's all originally based on the hotchkiss gun from the 1870s, But EVERYONE started using 37mm late 1800-early 1900s. Hence why its called the "common" type -

I can't speak to the authenticity but that's a swanky set of wings! -

Yes, exactly. There is a lot of documents here, all dated and signed. Google's Gemini was able to identify all these medals. I still have no idea what any of this is worth, except maybe the heart shield bible. -

Great haul! Nice complete sets for the jungle aid pouches too. Some of those contents are getting harder and harder to source. And love all those Carlisle variants. -

When I left the Navy in 1999, after 26 years, I left everything in Chiefs berthing, for my fellow Chiefs. When I made Chief, I gave or sold everything I had to other PO1s. All I kept, was a set of old melton wool blues, my SMCS Dress Blues, a set of CNT khakis and my Dinner Dress Blues -

He was the Chief medical officer I believe. He treated FDR. Do you have any opinion on what this all might be worth? -

I appreciate you taking the time to post this. I see what they are getting at, but I think any specific collectible has a typical value. How and where you sell it will certainly affect what you get for it compared to its “value”. The Antique Road Show guys seem to have created an arbitrary “higher” value they just slap on top of what something is actually worth. And now, everybody asks about “insurance value” after being told what something is worth. And that trophy being close to unique is worth what it is worth. If it is destroyed, a somewhat “higher” insurance payment probably won’t enable the owner to find a replacement. So, “insurance value” is a nonexistent amount. That’s all I got. Just needed to vent a bit. Thanks again, R!
