An original silver gelatin photograph circa 1934 of Peking and Shanghai Marines and other members of International Legations (British, French and Italian). Third from the right (lower right) is the post adjutant and morale officer of Headquarters Detachment, American Legation, Peking, China, Evans F. Seen wearing the Navy Cross for his actions in Nicaragua in 1930. In 1942, he and his “Raiders” were on Makin Island (second Navy Cross) and was later leading the famed “Long Patrol” on Guadalcanal. Carlson is arguably the father of Marine Special Operations. Photo appears to be the participants of the International Small Bore Rifle Competition and what looks like the international commanders. Rixey, the Legation Commanding Officer is center, behind the Johnson Trophy. Here is where Carlson studied the Chinese language, he would return in 1937 and study Chinese guerrilla tactics and the Japanese and where was born the term “Gung-ho” that he used as the Raiders motto. A rare photo of a very famous Marine officer. Measures 8-3/8″ x 6-1/2″. Combined invoice will be sent at auctions end.

Stetson M1911 WWI – interwar years, 1930s Officer’s Campaign Hat, four dent, 3in brim, no stitching at brim edge, stars not oak leaf. Chin strap is original but detached on one side. Despite being almost 100 years old, this Stetson is in fantastic condition! The exact age is unknown but the hat has several characteristics that help date it. The brim is 3in wide but does not feature decorative stitch lines around the outer edge, which dates the hat as later than 1919. The Stetson logo has stars in the upper left quadrant, but Stetson changed this to an oak leaf in 1950. The labels also suggest the date, making the 1930s my best estimate!

ORIGINAL 1930’S UNITED STATES ARMY AIR CORPS PILOT WINGS, 3-1/16 INCH SIZE, PIN-BACK. During World War II, with the rise of the Army Air Forces, a second series of aviator badges were issued to include a design that has survived to the modern day. The Pilot Badge was issued in three degrees, including Pilot, Senior Pilot, and Command Pilot. A polished silver colored version of these badges is currently used as the United States Air Force Pilot Badges. From August 1941 to November 1942, the Enlisted Aviator program was restarted. Candidates had to be at least 18, possess a high school diploma, and have graduated at the top of their high school class. Graduates were rated as Flight Staff Sergeants or Flight Technical Sergeants and wore the same pilot’s wings as officers. They were usually assigned to pilots of transport and auxiliary aircraft to free officer pilots to pilot the more prestigious fighters and bombers. Auxiliary pilots received their own special wings to indicate their status and specialty. In November 1942 all enlisted pilots were promoted to Flight Officer rank and enlisted cadets were graded as Flight Officers or Second Lieutenants depending on merit. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you!
