February 10, 20179 yr #276 image.jpeg Here's my latest pick up. Unifentified Nice find, that is one heck of set of awards.
February 10, 20179 yr #277 In checking the officers who have the Navy Cross and three Distinguished Service Medals seem to be pre-Vietnam. I can't find anyone that these ribbons would align with.
February 10, 20179 yr #278 Thanks for the info gentlemen. I got these with a large group of Marine stuff from the Palm Springs area. The uniforms were all from the 80s and to an enlisted Marine. These were in a bag along with other insignia and aviation wings. I got a good deal on the whole lot and these weren't even shown in the picture
February 10, 20179 yr #279 That makes two of us, how is the project progressing?On hold due to deployment
May 9, 20179 yr #284 Older Navy Distinguished Service Medal. One of the most beautifully designed and constructed medals, IMO.
May 21, 20179 yr #287 World War II Army Good Conduct, Bronze Star, ETO with Boy Scouts of America Gold Sword. Don't know the criteria for the BSA Gold Sword.
May 21, 20179 yr #288 Don't want to leave out the Air Force. USAF Vietnam, Defense Meritorious Service, Air Force Commendation Medal mini group. "If you can't stitch, glue will do."
May 22, 20179 yr #289 Had to bust mine out for an event this week, so I thought I would add them to the list.
May 23, 20179 yr #290 Don't want to leave out the Air Force. USAF Vietnam, Defense Meritorious Service, Air Force Commendation Medal mini group. "If you can't stitch, glue will do." While the Meritorious Service Medal (MSM) is awarded by all services, it is not a "Defense" Meritorious Service Medal (DMSM). The DMSM is a joint service award and is different.
May 23, 20179 yr #291 World War II Army Good Conduct, Bronze Star, ETO with Boy Scouts of America Gold Sword. Don't know the criteria for the BSA Gold Sword.
May 23, 20179 yr #293 atb and jim2-- thanks for the corrections. I found what appeared to be that "sword medal" listed as a BSA WW2 medal on a militaria dealers website....And repeated the error, it seems.
June 20, 20179 yr #294 Just got this today -- from the uniform of Admiral James Holloway, Jr. Can anyone identify the medal on the far right?
June 20, 20179 yr #296 Nice set of miniature medals. I think I have a pic of his full size somewhere in my collection. Are they original or you able to get them made? 4starchris
June 20, 20179 yr #297 Nice set of miniature medals. I think I have a pic of his full size somewhere in my collection. Are they original or you able to get them made? 4starchris Thanks for the ID! These are Holloway's originals sewn on to his mess dress uniform. I would love to see a pic of his full size awards!

June 21, 20179 yr #299 So you're the one that outbid me for the admiral uniform! I'm happy at least it went to a fellow member. Absolutely stunning rack! Thanks! I actually didn't bid on it when it was an auction initially. The seller relisted it as buy it now and a really great forum member let me know about it. Now to try and track down any Adm. Holloway III items for a really neat father/son group!
