The Story
This is a nice lot of WWII Era Marine Corps Medals & insignia. They include a four-place medal bar with the Good Conduct Medal. The Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal was established on 20 July 1896. The medal was originally a ribbon and medal suspended from a clasp bearing the words "U.S. Marine Corps". The clasp was eliminated after 1935 and the medal has remained unchanged in appearance since that time. From its inception in 1896, the name of the recipient was engraved by hand on the reverse side of the medal until stamping the name on the medal began during World War II (numbered on the rim) and was done completely by 1951.
The items included:
- 4-place medal bar with Purple Heart, USMC Good Conduct Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with 3 stars, and American Campaign medal. The Good Conduct medal originally had stars attached.
- 1st Marine Division Patch.
- 4th Marine Division patch.
