Fractured Frackette

Shame about the missing one...what possibly could it have been? I bought this piece primarily because I wanted the little naval wound badge.

Meybauer. Enjoy. Any ideas on the flyer?

I do not know what the missing piece might be BUT I do have to say that I think that is a great chain any way. I haven't seen very many mini China medals

Wonderful little group. I'd expect a long service medal since service in China and WWI.

I'd vote LS also-no Orders so a naval NCO.

[Ralph A]

Thanks.

I concur. LS makes sense.

The remains of the missing suspension loop are clean-cut, and the ends are patina-ed, so apparently it was removed some time ago, and perhaps on purpose. Either that, or it was torn off, and someone took the trouble to clip the damaged ends of the missing ring flat.

I wonder if the LS had a swastika, and was thereby removed? (Just got an "I doubt that"...)

Nevertheless, thanks for the compliments and the info - I agree, its a nice little chain even in its fractured state..
