China Service Award USMC
Just got this in the mail as a gift from a very fine gentleman.
A nice clean US China Service award. Overall condition is excellent with just some minor discoloration on the front.
These are interesting in that they were awarded twice.
The first period was 1937 to 1939 and the second from 1945 to 1957
This one is a crimp brooch with knob suspension ring which indicates 2nd period of eligibility (1945 to 1957). Early versions had rim numbers, wrap brooch and ring suspension
