The US Marine Corps has always prided itself on being "first to fight", and Marine units attached to the Army's 2nd Infantry Division were rushed to France to help blunt the great German Spring Offensive of 1918. They stopped the Germans cold at Belleau Wood, and then began to turn the tide at Chateau-Thierry. US Marines who fought in WW1 and qualified for the Good Conduct Medal (4 years of honorable, creditable service for an enlisted man) were generally issued those numbered from 20,000 to 50,000. This USMC Marine US WW1 "No. 38731" NUMBERED GOOD CONDUCT MEDAL is in very good condition, with some scratching to the back pendant, and with some scattered patina and age wear evident (ALL pictured). Otherwise, the medal is in fine shape, with absolutely no cracking or other damage. Most interestingly, it boasts the classic "U.S. MARINE CORPS" embossed bronze top clasp, sports a fully intact ribbon, and is complete with the original pendant, which is numbered "No. 38731" along the bottom rim.  The identity of the recipient remains unknown, but whoever he was, he was proud to claim the title of United States Marine.  It features a fully functional pin and "C" catch closure at the upper back, and is a fine example of a rare, original  USMC Marine US WW1 "No. 38731" NUMBERED GOOD CONDUCT MEDAL .  Now celebrating over 15 years on eBay. Bid with confidence and please view our other great military and aviation classics, including a very rare, original US Army USMC Marine WW2 WESTERN L-77 COMMANDO FIGHTING KNIFE in good condition, featuring a sleek 6 7/8" single edge dagger blade, and complete with the original Western double side stitched leather scabbard.
