Default a little extra detail

A little extra detail from the estate this spear came from.

Master Gunnery Sergeant George Pelletiere, US Marine Corps who fought in the Battle of Guadalcanal during WWII.

Whilst he may not have obtained this during service, the ship could have passed through the Philippines??? And his position, he could certainly find space within the ships hull...equally he could have bought or obtained this stateside at any time in his life....

Some food for thought.
