Rare original, first type United States Navy, China Service, campaign medal. Ringtop suspension on the medal (not the later knob type) and early, full wrap brooch. In original cardboard box, with both the ribbon bar device and a pin back ribbon device. The medal measures approximately 1 5/16 in diameter. There is a penny in one photo to show scale (penny not included in sale). The original cardboard box is present. Scuffed at the corners with the red material worn away at all. There are traces of tape at the middle, with the surface red missing on the sides and on the bottom. The medal shows no wear, but has some storage type marks and a lot of tiny black marks (age spots) and uneven tarnish. The separate pin back ribbon device is faded and has light soiling may very well have been used. Same with the separate ribbon bar device which is soiled. This is a hobby not a living, so I try to keep it fun, otherwise why do it. _gsrx_vers_632 GS 6.9.8 (632).

Note – go to my other listings to see the dress cap for this uniform; and, other early usphs uniform items from this officer to come so keep checking back in the next week or so! THIS IS THE FINE WOOL WWI DRESS UNIFORM OF CAREER USPHS / NIH DR. AND SURGEON CHARLES ARMSTRONG. IT MATCHES THE DRESS HAT STILL UP AS OF 11/10. IT IS CUSTOM-MADE AND DATED 1916. IT’S VERY NOTABLE IN SEVERAL WAYS. THE QUALITY IS SUPERB: SOFT MELTON WOOL AND EXTENSIVE HAND-WOVEN BULLION ON NECK CUFFS AND SHOULDERS. REMARKABLY ENOUGH GIVEN MENS’ SIZES 100 YEARS AGO IT IS EXTREMELY LARGE. I’D SAY 42-43L OR EVEN EXTRA LONG! I WEAR 42-44 L AND I HALF-PUT IT ON, SLEEVE WAS PERFECT. AS FOR BODY, THIS DOC WAS PROBABLY AVERAGE/THIN; IT WAS TIGHT. BUT THEN I’M 6 FOOT 4, 200# AND’BUILT. CONDITION IS ALSO AMAZING – NO MOTHING, NOT EVEN NIPS VISIBLE! SOME OF THE BULLION IS LIGHTLY TARNISHED BUT IT’S ALL INTACT AS ARE ALL SEAMS, BUTTONS ETC. (SOME PIX SHOW TINY WHITE SPOTS- JUST LINT WHICH I’VE BRUSHED OFF). THE MATCHING TROUSERS ARE EXCEPTIONAL AS WELL – SAME CONDITION AS THE FROCK COAT. FINALLY, IT’S ESPECIALLY RARE B/C THE USPHS WAS AND REMAINS A VERY SMALL FEDERAL AGENCY. MATERIAL LIKE THIS ONLY SELDOM COMES TO MARKET! AND AGAIN – MORE OF HIS UNIFORMS TO COME, SO NOTE WELL. Note EXTREME generous start price! (less than the value of the button set alone). NO MATTER HOW SMALL THE ITEM I USE AN ENVELOPE BIG ENUF FOR A U. CHANGING ADDRESSES AFTER THE SALE IS MADE – ESPECIALLY U. TO FOREIGN – IS UNWELCOME AND SLOWS THE PROCESS ON ALL SIDES.
