There are quite a few fudged pieces on the market and the good ones go quick and generally for quite a pretty penny. Particularly as the prices seem to jump every couple of months lately.

I can't see paying $500 or more for an airborne piece. I may have to not collect any.
Mr. Jungerberg is included in the online roster of the 12th Armored Division on their website and was a member of the Association:
12th Armored Division
12th Armored Division
It appears he was a booster and fairly active in the association. The website has a link to their newsletters and a cursory search brings up a number of issues with his name in it, including his unfortunate passing in 2004.

Here's another site with a little more history of Mr. Jungerberg. It looks like he was entitled to two bronze service stars on his EAME campaign ribbon:
Arvin E Jungerberg
Also included are three pictures which I've also attached from the website above.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Arvin was a little fellow. His jacket is on the smaller side 😊
Nice uniform but the ribbons are in the wrong order. They should be as follows;
left to right looking at the uniform
1. American Campaign medal
2. European African Middle Eastern Campaign medal
3. WWII Victory medal
You might see if you can find his DD-214 and perhaps do a bit more research as to how many battle stars should be on the EAME medal. he should have at least a couple on there.

Hi Burt. The uniform came this way. I may just leave it be as not to break any of the ribbons removing them 😊
