Please see if Franklin M. Martin of NJ is listed. Thank you.

Great grouping with a twist!

I am in possession of a WW2 USMC KA-BAR Fighting knife with a Leather Sheath. Engraved on the blade in script is the name   Cpl. O.D. Lussier. I have been unable to get any information on this person and would like to return this item if possible to a family member. If anyone can help it would be appreciated.    Thank You,  Dennis Antonucci  

It must have been post war.   In Pennsylvania it was common to chrome captured enemy weapons.   Ive never seen a pistol chromed by the Germans or Japanese.

Hi all!   I won this grouping recently and was able to keep most of this vets items but lost out on a couple small items but glad with with I kept together. Cpl Marion V Faure served with “C” Co 323rd IR 81st ID and was a veteran of the Battle of Peleliu and Philippines. He brought home a Japanese Chop/seal and a set of field glasses, plus a fantastic photo album.   

That's all we can do!

Do you know if the veteran had it chromed post war?

I worked with a former army major who acquired authorization for one of his NCOs to wear marine parachutist wings on his army uniform. The NCO served with the marines prior to moving over to the army.
