What bothers me is that it looks like each element was painted all at the same time. It has UNIS markings, it has a EGA and it has a "war diary" and each element would have been painted at a different time. Perhaps: Name first. Unis Marking perhaps second. Then an EGA and then maybe the islands or port of calls. To be all painted up at the same time just would not happen. It's like Vietnam graffiti covers having clear bold marking, names, sayings, place names all bold, sharp and the same gradients of color just would not happen unless the vet made it after the period of events. A helmet cover, faded, with some markings clearer than others, color bleeding, some "refreshed" , some so faint that they hard to read is what I would expect for a period used and applied piece and I would expect a seabag that followed a Marine through the pacific during WW2 to be similar. Just my thoughts. -

Blitz67 I believe they meant in the Latest Finds section. I figured I could ask here as it is a recent find. I figured it wouldn't be too much of a problem. I've seen quite a few photos of Marines not zipping up their flaks, and even if I needed to I could just button it up. Looks the part, at least. Thanks for the response, and the references! Wade -

Agreed... for those who have knowledge to spot things right away. What I came up with from the info provided. OK, from the UN Korean Defense Service medal/award to the right. Agreed French, right to left: Medal of a Liberated France '39-'45, Military Health Service Honor Medal, 1939-1945 Commemorative War Medal. Then Belguim: Commemorative Medal of the War 1940–1945 and the last one ?? Quite a history with this soldier. -

They all look like French WW2 awards and that is pretty easy to research. -

One thought came to mind as they could be possibly state awards. Still VERY curious to find out what they could be. -

MWDVET: Hayes Otopaulik has two numbered discs that match what you're looking for. One near the top has the number "3," and near the bottom is another numbered "5." https://www.hayesotoupalik.com/WW1 U.S. Collar Discs.htm
