From what's showing I would guess late Vietnam era. 4 ARCOMS and an Army Achievement Medal to go with his MSM on retirement. Vietnam Service Medal with three campaign stars could equate to one tour of duty possibly two. No Bronze Star or Air Medal or Purple Heart so he was probably a staffer some place. I really haven't kept up with the Army's post-Vietnam atta boy awards. One other thought is the presence of the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal may indicate a tour in Korea.
Heiko, that is a colloquial or slang expression that means ugly, sickening, awful, nasty, and in this case particularly bad tasting and is intended as a humorous reference to RR licking the bars. All intended in fun.
I look forward to RR's scans. That will be a fun start to the new year. I do have a question about the stippled background on these bars. Is that type of background common to all bars or only certain makers? That question may answer itself as more known authentic examples are posted. Stogie, in your experience have you ever known a bad guy to do test marketing?
