A nice estate find. The jacket is unnamed but fortunately came with some service cards. The jacket has a set set of ribbons sewn on including a purple heart ribbon bar. The small service cards are really a nice addition showing that he served in the Pacific and no doubt saw combat. His shellback card lists at least one of the ships which he served aboard, USS ATR-34 (an ocean tug). He served from 1942 through 1946 and stayed in the reserves after the war attaining the rank of LCDR. Interestingly his ribbons are the later narrow ones. They look to be tailor made and are stitched to the jacket.. Includes a Naval Reserve discharge lapel button. Interestingly there's a copy of a civilian airman certificate from after the war. Needs further research. $125.00WW2 Gold Star Next of Kin Pin in Original Box
