Thanks! I have another one complete with coffin case, lapel pin and service ribbon in the mail thanks to Tank Destroyer. For not much more than I paid for this one!

Well a big THANK You to Tank Destroyer. He knew I was looking for a boxed example and sourced this one for me. I will add however, that it was shipped in a box that could almost fit a helmet and was packaged to withstand a free fall off a 10 story building!

This "Slot Brooch" example is in fantastic condition and complete with ribbon bar, lapel pin and case. It is obviously a different maker than the other one I have. You can see the differences in the enamel as well as the bow tie.

You so funny.....I know how disappointed you would’ve been if it had arrived damaged. I’m glad you like it, I came close to keeping it as it sat on my desk and really started to grow on me.

I’m glad I could be apart of your incredible collecting adventure.

There is no Marine Commendation medal. It is the same as the Navy's...Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal

Keep in mind, in WWII, it was a ribbon only award...the Commendation Ribbon.

Thanks! Still working my way through the Call of Duty book... (Edit: Just checked it should be the Navy/Marines Commendation Medal)

Will strike that from my list. One less for Marty to source for me!
