[CINDERS]

I seem to remember John Basilone was to have been recommended for his 2nd MOH on this campaign on IWO sadly he was killed on the 1st day did this ever happen.

From the web ~ In February 1945, he was killed in action on the first day of the invasion of Iwo Jima, after he single-handedly destroyed an enemy blockhouse and led a Marine tank under fire safely through a minefield.

Whats the shooter got wrapped around the grips of the 1911!

Also note the M1907 Sling as a belt

Yes, it doesn't look like it would be that one though...more like guntape or something. Hard to say now.
