This is the REAL THING, My grandfather brought it home from the war where he served mostly in the Pacific with the Marine Corps. They do not come with the medal and ribbon. Tjis is truely invaluable and nobody will have the stories that go with it and the hardships he and my grandmother went through in WW2. Thank you all for respecting these items.
Here’s a nice Goodwill find. A WW2 USMC medal grouping that belonged to a Gilbert M. His name is engraved on the back of the Marine Good Conduct Medal. Included in this grouping are the following: USMC Good Conduct Medal, American Campaign Medal, World War ll Medal, Armed Forces Reserve Medal, National Defense Medal, Asiatic Pacific Campaign Medal, Joint Meritorious Medal, Expert Rifleman Badge, Enlisted Aircrew Wings, and 4th Marine Air Wing Patch. The medals are in good condition, have a nice patina, and you can tell these were actually worn on a service members uniform. The grouping is housed in a picture frame measuring approximately 10 3/4″ x 8 3/4″. There is some wear, dings, and scuff marks on the picture frame. This is a nice grouping that would make a great addition to your USMC collection. The posted photographs are an important part of the physical description. Closely view all of them, so you may judge for yourself the condition, quality, and age of the items.

PLEASE READ AND VIEW ALL PHOTOS. This was found amongst a deceased family member’s belongings. It has both the medal and addition ribbon pin still appearing functionally sound. Also in original box with place of origin details. What info and advice we find and obtain it is genuine. Oftentimes it took years for military members to receive awards and ribbons, medals. 3rd parties were contracted by the military to distribute, manufacture and sell genuine military medals to be given to servicemen. We’re assuming this belonged to his father who had indeed served in WWII from Italy to Germany. We assumed it was his father’s as it was packaged with other war memorabilia as well as personal items.
