The planchet features a military soldier walking beside a civilian. Above them, along the upper edge are the words, “Marine Corps Reserve” and below their feet are the words, “For Service”. The reverse is with the words, “Fidelity, Zeal, Obedience” around the outer edge with the plain center not being engraved. The planchet is with virtually all the original bronze finish. It is suspended from the original ribbon and mounted on a full wrap broach. Both the pin and roller locking assemblies are fully functional. A very hard to find example that remains in excellent condition.

It doesn’t get rarer than this… Completely original Type 1 1939 U. Marine Corps Fleet Reserve miniature medal. These type 1 medals were only awarded (I believe there was a single BB&B contract) for a handful of months in early 1939. It was replaced by the type II medal for the second half of 1939 and a short time in 1940 before a complete activation of the Fleet Marine Corps Reserve occurred at the earliest onset of WWII. Thus, there was no need for either medal during the war, so both early types rarely surface for sale. Full size type I medals only come up for sale every few years, and I’ve only seen two miniatures in 30 years in the hobby. This is truly a time capsule piece.
