Purple Heart - Full wrap Brooch - Un-named in box
Article about: My last item from the show yesterday. Trying to get all the WW2 US awards in "loose" versions so I can mount and display them. I already have two other examples but both are named

Nice one Michael, interesting pin assembly, different to mine.
I just see it's titled full wrap.

Thanks Rene...
Yours is a slot brooch used during WW2 (44) and just after. Then around 1950 they switched to a crimp brooch
Here is a nice guide

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

This is a nice link Paul. Going to have to study this when I get home and compare to my other references. But it does appear to tie in with what I understand. I'm still learning the ins and out of US awards however.
Would be great if it was a Navy example.

As an fyi....this is the wrong case. The Navy box is slightly smaller and does not have the slot for the lapel pin
So now even less concerned about separating it...anyone need a box???
