A bit of a reach from our usual time frame we could not pass on an effort to preserve this offering intact. Offered here as a group to preserve its historical integrity are the personal items and US Navy memorabilia of Annapolis graduate Lt. Commander Wilbur J. Mason. The executive officer of the US Gato class submarine Herring, Lt. Cdr. Mason was lost with all eighty-three aboard when the hard fought, five battle star, U-boat was sunk on June 1, 1944. Included in the group is Lt. Cdr. Masons inscribed officer’s sword complete with sword case and sword belt, his uniform submariner device framed for preservation by the family, a period photograph of the USS Herring with attached time appropriate campaign ribbons and the family framed portrait with military record. Best described as to condition by our illustrations, suffice it to say the sword is in exceptional shape. As with the sword we have made every effort to illustrate each component for your inspection and evaluation. All are original and as preserved by the family. A quick Google will offer an account of the extensive WWII history of the Herring and her crew. All acquired directly from the descendants, a family related Harley Davidson military service memorial leather jacket is offered elsewhere as item # 634104.
Buy with confidence! We are pleased to offer a no questions asked three day inspection with return as purchased on direct sales!
