This is a rare US Navy grouping for a man who was stationed on the USS NARWHAL at Pearl Harbor on Dec. See pictures 10 and 11. The group consists of his frock coat, evening dress coat, trousers with braid, and his Midshipman tunic. All are in very nice condition with only one button missing from the tunic. The fore and aft hat, epaulettes, and gold belt are in a tin box with his initials painted on top. All are in excellent condition except for the box. It is dented with paint missing and the lock is off but included. The sword is in fine condition with the scabbard showing only very minor flaking. The leather case is in good condition but is missing part of the strap to buckle it closed and some mild mothing to the liner. Scabbard is engraved with his initials and the leather case also has his initials. Interestingly his last name is misspelled on the blade, an “A” is missing. Also included is his 1931 Academy yearbook, silver anniversary yearbook, and thirty first anniversary yearbook. The papers that are included are all copies except his retirement paper. Also included is a second sword belt, a medal and a comb with missing teeth in a leather pouch which also has a rusting file. I think this is the highlight of the whole group. The USS Narwhal is credited with shooting down a Japanese Zero (along with a destroyer) which is the first submarine kill of the war. This group is from the officer who claims he shot it down. This is a rare Pearl Harbor AND submarine related group. I just noticed that in the picture of the yearbooks there is a small book titled The Silver Quiver, it does not go with this group. The crate has been in my attic for over 25 years and is under a large pile of stuff. No sense in digging it out until or if the group sells. The price listed may be lower if you live on the East Coast. It will take me a few days to dig out the crate and pack everything safely so please be patient. If you live in the area you can pick it up. The item “RARE US NAVY PRE WW2 FORMAL UNIFORM GROUP PEARL HARBOR SUBMARINES” is in sale since Sunday, March 05, 2017.

Offered here is an incredibly rare and extensive French Foreign Legion medal/document group to one man, Charles Volmer (Vollmer) a. Senior NCO with 1er REC, Legion Etrangere (1st Regiment of Foreign Cavalry, French Foreign Legion). This group is absolutely original and as found. It was obtained directly from a family member of Volmer (great-grand daughter). Nothing has been pieced together or added. Volmer began service with the Legion in North Africa in the 1920s and served with them through the end of the war. After the war, Volmer continued his service with the French military police/legal administration in the French zone of Occupied Germany. The material included here are as follows – Croix de Guerre TOE medal w/ two stars, Colonial Medal w/ claps for Sahara and Maroc, Combatant’s Cross, Moroccan Order of Ouissam Alaouite Al Alaoui, ribbon bar, rank stripe, Autonomous Group 1er REC pocket badge (rare), Comité des Amitiés Africaines pocket badge, Military Police – French Zone of Military Occupation Germany pocket badge (very scarce) and General Personnel, French Zone of Military Occupation Germany pocket badge (very scarce), two photo certificates for medal awards and one French Zone of Military Occupation Hunting License along with Volmer’s pigskin leather wallet and one business card which itemizes Volmer’s decorations. Also present are six Diplome and citations for all of Volmer’s valor and service awards: Medaille Militaire, Croix de Guerre TOE, Colonial Medal, Sahara Clasp, Colonial Medal, Moroc Clasp, Combatant’s Cross, Moroccan Order of Ouissam Alaouite Al Alaoui, Volmer’s French Mle35 Motorized Troops helmet (very scarce). Also accompanying this group and included as supporting provenance is a collection of seven pieces of paper identification belonging to Volmer’s wife, issued by a variety of French civilian and military authorities, to include passport, travel and a safe conduct pass issued by the Free French Forces administration in Tunisia. Condition wise, the medals are ex-fine, the Moroccan Order having some minor enamel damage, as often seen. The Diplome and certificates are mostly good, some with minor tears, one certificate had been folded to the point of separation (happened long ago, as evidenced by ancient tape marks). The Helmet is quite nice, it’s missing one liner suspension spring hook from the inside front, the leather being mostly good, still soft with only a few minor stress issues. The paint, outside leather and badge are exceptional. All in all, this is a tremendously historic group and it represents the outstanding and courageous service of a superior soldier in an elite unit. A group of this caliber is nearly impossible to find. I’ve searched extensively and can’t find a comparable group to a Legionnaire. More pics available upon request.
