Honestly it use to be about 2x the size. He narrowed it down to his most rare to him items. He was buying at gun shows,antique shows, flea markets and eBay back when it first came out. 

Thanks for that! Unfortunately that’s a case of ww2 stuff and if it’s not flipped to the back side it’s probably not named. There isn’t much Second World War items but his father was enlisted and he has a case for just that. I will Double check. 

HOLY CANOLLI! It's amazing what get's amassed over the years.  

General MacArthur's award was honorary, recognizing his service during WW2.  Here are two documents from the General's file referencing the matter.

I don't know about Snowmobiling but I use mine while walking the dog on winter nights when it gets down to 10 degrees or colder in Up-State NY. It still does the job even down to -20 degrees. 🥶    I think I found mine on eBay some 10 years ago, paying about $125.

Is the distinguished service cross and navy cross named on the back.

This is the USAF parka. 1950’s era… up to early 1970s… I’ve seen quite a few pics of AF guys wearing them on the flightline and mx shops…  value is varied depending on size and condition…. I had a large, used good condition that I could not get 50 for so I kept it…. 🤷‍♂️… 👍   nice parka 

I believe this is the guy  

Very true

Ebay auctions would be the best means to sell all those WW1 local medals.  True, they ding you 15%, but I'd rather pay 15% of a big number rather than 0% of a small number. No need to pay for an appraisal.  Ebay is the true appraisal.   Check to see if the New York Faithful Service Medal is gold.  If so, sell for bullion melt value. There is some great stuff there!
