December 14-17, 2021 Collectible Firearms & Militaria
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/15/2021
Lot consists of: "The Legacy of the Purple Heart" Second Edition Revised, by Turner Publishing Company; "Book of Merit Pennsylvania Purple Heart Recipients" by the Department of Pennsylvania Inc. under the direction of Robert L. Alvarez; "The Spirit of America" by Hugh F. Kayser with signed annotation on the inside cover from Medal of Honor Recipient Gino Merli; 1947 dated unit history "History of the Third Infantry Division in World War II First Edition" edited by Donald G. Taggart; lastly, a nice trench art lamp that is constructed of a 30mm shell that is flanked by .50, .30-06, .30, and 9mm shells on either side. The lamp was constructed by the consigner's father who served in Antarctica during World War II. CONDITION: The Third Infantry Division unit history is in poor condition, with the covers separated from the spine. The pages are also frayed around the edges. All of the other books are complete and vary from fair-very good condition. Some of the shells are loose on the lamp but it is a nice display piece. Overall poor-very good. JLD
