Fabulous WWII Ribbon Bar Made in Japan During Occupation for a real USN Aviation Hero: Sadly Unnamed

Fabulous WWII Ribbon Bar. This pilot was obviously a real hero, to have earned the medals on this miniature bar. The medals look like they were possibly made in Japan, during the early Occupation period. The bar features in order from the viewer's left to right, the: Navy Cross, Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal, Purple Heart, WWII Asiatic Pacific Campaign Medal, WWII Victory Medal, and WWII Army of Occupation Medal.

7+ (Very Fine+): The miniature medals show minor to moderate wear and fading, a few areas of verdigris, much of the gilt and enamel details remain intact, overall very fine condition.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
