USMC WW2 2nd Marine Raider Battalion Grouping 'George A. Wolbert

In a very good condition and extreme rare to find a US Marine Corps WW2 2nd Marine Raider (Carlson Raider) Battalion Grouping on the name of George A. Wolbert, member of Company G.
George was a Private First Class and rifle marksman that enlisted in 1943 and served in the PTO (Pacific Theather of Operations) from 16 July 1943 till 17 December 1944.
George was a veteran of Bougainville,Emirau and Guam.
The grouping contains the original service dress of George with the original raider shoulder sleeve insignia original applied and also the ribbonbar and the marksman bar on the tunic next to the standard USMC insignia.
The service dress has also the matching trousers and cap in the grouping present.
Next to this uniform set is the original picture of George present were he is wearing this set.
Also present is the original rare mapcard of the Island of Guam, dated April 1944, that George used on the island!
Last but not least is the original Carlson made 'Gung Ho' Fighting knive in this grouping!
These knives were addopted by Colonel Evans F. Carlson specially for the 2nd Raider Battalion.
He addopted the Collins No.18 knife with leather sheath and ordered 1000 of them.
These knives were delivered to the battalion at Camp Catlin in late 1942.
The serial numbers were applied by tge battalion armorer Lawrence Betts and issued to the guys.
These knifes were carried by them on Guadelcanal and Bougainville.
Only a few of these made it back to the USA due to use or trade for booze and other items.
Some Carlson Raiders did manage to keep the knives including George.
George has the marked number 677 on the blade of the 1000 ordered.
This is by far a very stunning Carlson Raider grouping that is very hard to find included the Carlson knife and Guam combat mapcard!
We price the grouping accourding it's condition and rareness!
