Ok that makes sense . Lower would be American defense , American campaign and PTO ? He enlisted 1940 . Thanks 

Top ribbon is a PUC for sure, with two stars.  I think your bottow far left is a Asiatic Pacific (center on my bar)

Looks to me to be a Bannermans Span Am period that someone plopped on there. I would say added for interest for sure. 

My bet is a PUC

Picture is dated 1943 . I was thinking silver star since it has side stripe and middle ? But ? Not sure he was a 1st division marine on Guadalcanal.

Hi Allan, thanks for your kind words.   I'm waiting for a 5th Ranger Battalion scroll to complete my D-Day collection.   Best regards, Jo

American Defense??  Maybe with a star in the center???  Or maybe Allan's China Service????   Is hard to tell, but it also looks there is something between the ribbons...maybe another ribbon?   Another thought, a guess, maybe the top ribbon is a Bronze Star or something else, and the ribbon is a plastic coated one that is reflecting the light.     That said, if I add a small measure of wishful thinking and squint, I can almost see a Bronze Star ribbon       

Thanks for your reply, you were lucky to find the suit and win the auction and for that price... I found one from Nighthawks for $60 so they are still out there... If you still have it and ever would decide to part from it, you can always drop me a line 😉.. Happy hunting! Ringo

Marksman badges would be worn under the ribbons, so I don't think it is a marksman badge. As bright as it is, I would assume that it is probably a yellow ribbon like the American Defense or perhaps a China Service?   Allan

Powerful story Matt, is that you in the picture?
