I'm looking at that final photo, where the blade is not all the way in the scabbard. Does it go all the way in and seat properly? That would affect value greatly. -

Hi all, I would need your help on this Merrill's Marauders patch. I have some doubts if it's a good one. The patch is about 3 inches tall, handmade and looks Indian basket weave. It hasn't an intensive glow under blacklight. What do you think ? I would really appreciate your opinion on this patch. Thank you in advance for your help. -

Thank you @jumpship Yes, I think you're right, this AI result is surely incorrect. Definitely not the best method... -

This is the pre-war version of the Dress Blue Uniform. After the war, the uniform was changed. If an officer purchased this used and wanted to wear it after the war, he would have been required to modify its appearance. The US Army does not have a permanent General Staff Corps (prohibited by Congress). Instead, officer serve in General Staff positions (and wear General Staff collar insignia). I was a Field Artillery officer, but wore General Staff insignia on two occasions due to my assignment (e.g., on the staff of a senior general). LTC Craven could have been reassigned to a unit after the war began. Since the CIB was not yet authorized in 1940, this must have been awarded after the US entered WWII. It would be possible for a cavalry officer to earn the CIB. The cavalry divisions were dismounted during WWII and fought as infantry units. The CIB can be earned by officers in the rank of Colonel and below for combat with the enemy after 7 December 1941. If he was a LTC in January 1940, he had likely served during WWI (perhaps as an enlisted man), then joined the National Guard, and got promoted over the years. -

Not the 1st Cav Division, but here is a cavalryman by that name. https://historica.fandom.com/wiki/Ray_Allen_Craven Ray Allen Craven Ray Allen Craven (died January 1945) was an American soldier who served in the US Army's 124th Cavalry Regiment in the Burma campaign of World War II. He and several other Texans from the 124th were attached to the MARS Task Force during the closing months of the Pacific War, and he was killed in action during the campaign to wrest the Burma Road from Japanese control.
