Oh shoot I did not post the picture, guess it didn’t load. His alpha pants and overseas cap, 2 ribbon bars, 2 EGA’s, a photo of 2 marines (in Hawaii?) and a navy whistle 

I really wouldn't make a very good nurse if I exhibited any of those traits now would I, don't go hiding behind those that are dead and use them as a justification for your mindset. I don't need to insult you or attempt to make you look like an idiot in front of anyone here, you are doing such a fine job at that yourself.    Off you pop silk stocking.   

The SF Grp flash on the right is a US made Vietnam War era piece.  There was a short lived and similar US made post war flash that is slightly different before they went back to the all black flash with white border.  

I can only hope you are referring to this member 😎

Looks pretty legit to me!

KurtA is a highly respected member and a longstanding member of the community. Everything he has highlighted is fact.   There are more than a few problems here. None of which have been addressed. Moral terpitude not being the slightest offense. This thread is nearing the end of its lifespan as is one member's account.  Best ABN

For someone with no skin in the game you sure are covered in it's excrement. Perhaps the gangrene smell is your breath. You are obviously not one of the intellectual persons whom you refer. To throw out such thoughtless bs takes a special kind of stupid. Yes you have offended me, but most of all you insulted this Code Talker. You really shouldn't even state anything without the proof. You sound like a mindless idiot with no experience. There are many people who can vouch for my integrity that actually have merit, unlike yourself. 

The so called expert you are referring to Kurt A stomped away in a tantrum saying something about a "psychotic rabbit hole "😬

I have no skin in the game, or personally know any of the aforementioned individuals that you bring up. What is clear to me, even with my limited knowledge is that this entire charade is tasteless, disingenuous and goes against the grain of the forum.  You'll have to take my word for it, the members of this forum have integrity, and are outstanding members of the collecting community overall. Many of them have published academic material too, someone somewhere would challenge them if that wasn't the case.   This grouping if you can call it that, is just a few original items shoved together in a box. No proven connection to the individual, all unnamed and in the grand scheme of things not really worth a great deal at all.  At the end of the day; you can ask what ever you like for it, but you really shouldn't be getting all bent out of shape when when someone questions something that is unrealistic, or when your hopes and dreams of grandeur turn to dust.    Integrity speaks for itself, and I can smell gangrene.    That is all.....    

I can't explain the Purple Heart being blank. I don't have the answers to that, but I have been trying to find the answer. I understand why you all would have your doubts and even negative conclusions. I don't blame you. I would probably think the same thing if I didn't know the truth. All I can say is you are all rejecting an amazing piece of history here. I regret selling the first portion of this awesome collection to such an undeserving man who didn't want it all together, even though he promised to do so if it were to be recovered. I started off with a little dishonesty trying to make more money, but I have never misled or been dishonest in anyway of what I possessed with this collection. The only thing that "might not" be original is the Purple Heart, but I do not concede that by any means.
