WW2 Imperium Neptune Regis Shellback Sailor Certificate Mermaid, Maritime Art

Description: This was my fathers certificate for crossing the equator for the first time, a long time naval tradition (see info below). It is dated by my father's hand on Jan 28 1944. He was on the USAR-Yarmouth. The location on the certificate is stated as COMBAT ZONE-SOUTH WEST-PACIFIC. It is a large certificate, 20" x 15" on heavy paper, similar to heavy card stock. It has always been folded in our home which was smoke free. No tears or stains. Some minor stains on back, but they do not transfer to the front. Color is still good. I have tried to include a number of photos for you to view. IF you purchase this item and would like to see the seaman who served, check out the National Purple Heart Museum in upstate New York and type in Richard Bellknap for photos and an interesting article about a ship he was on that was torpedoed and was destroyed.Thanks for viewing. I will ship the next business day after payment.
