Nice!

It is identified in National Geographic Society's Insignia and Decorations revised edition of December 1, 1944, as the War Department civilian award for overseas service in the European-African-Middle Eastern Theater. There are also ribbons for overseas service in the American Theater and the Asiatic-Pacific Theater. There are no medals that go with these ribbons. They are ribbon only awards.

Here's it rotated. 

I tend to lump CIC/MI together, as did Pate.  (see bottom of table on p. 169).  There were 3,450 2-inch Commandos.  Of those, 3,000 were shipped to the San Francisco Port of Embarkation, which handled all war materiel going to the Pacific Theater.  These were MI/CI guns.  CIC got a shipment of 400 directly and about 50 went to domestic LEOs.  Although the OSS got quite a few 4-inch Commandos, they only got one with a 2-inch barrel.

. Well two of us spent the day working on a Jeep,   no not working on our Jeeps , working on a wooden frame for the ladies to cover in knitting and crochet for the longest yarn display, I think we cracked the back of it and will be assembling it in situ in the church.   As I said previously the ladies are working from photographs and such, the one even bought a plastic model of a Jeep to work from, we need to do some modification to the shape of the grill to the sides of the headlights.     Front bumper The longest Yarn ( TLY    *   1944 )                       Norman D. Landing, Forum Normandy Correspondent, 21 March  2O26.   …  

Pate would disagree with this statement except for post office not receiving these guns.    CIC was not the exclusive recipient of 2 inch Commandos. See pgs 162-169. Most went to Military Intelligence or the Port Transportation Officer in Oakland.  In fact, shipping records only list 450 going to CIC. Out of 3,450. 

So I went to an antique store today.And I found this, and I got it for ninety. Don't know if it was a good deal or anything about it.There was no box.

Do you know any Iranians that fled to the US after 1979?  They should have a vision for you.
