    Misc artifacts from veteran

    Got a call this week and made the purchase. Nothing real pricey or rare but all fine original items from one veteran. Most will be placed in their proper areas for sale at a later date. Some I will keep for me. Thanks for looking. Comment if you like.

    The only thing that is not original and was bought later is the SS tinnie. His wife said he bought it at an army navy surplus store in the late 1980's. Why, no clue as the wife said.

    There are 41 cigarette cards all in nice condition.
    The 4 Italian post cards are addressed to someone with writing.
    The 3 WWII German post cards have no writing.
    Nice GAB but missing its pin and catch, no maker.

    Just a nice grouping of small misc. items.

    A few pips, cockades and buttons.

    Love the Good Conduct War Service medal.

    Mini mothers cross is the gold version.

        Rubber stamp is not in the best condition and this one is missing the wooden handle.

        And a couple of Italian awards to go with the 4 post cards.

          Nice haul. The US Army Good Conduct medal ribbon on the German War Merit Cross is an interesting touch.

              5TH ARMY COMMEMORATIVE MEDAL
              The 5th Army Commemorative Medal was produced after the liberation of Naples Italy on October 1st 1943. Several different
              variations of the medal were produced, possibly by various vendors in and around Naples for purchase by the advancing
              Allied Army. Although official in size and style, there is no formal documentation that shows a formal style for being awarded
              or to be worn, but rather produced only as a souvenir. Several styles of suspension ribbon have been seen, but there does
              not appear to be any type or regularity for production.

              Variations included.....
              no boats.....two boats........
