We are happy to share a custom-ordered retirement shadowbox we made for a fellow Marine.
Our customer requested a shadowbox large enough to fit a set of dress blues, a sword and a few items to commemorate a Marine’s service.
We built a solid wood retirement to accommodate two flags at both top corners.
Centered is a gold Eagle, Globe and Anchor – a staple in Marine Corps tradition.
We then added, in ascending order, rank insignias going up from Private First Class through Chief Warrant Officer 3.
We then centered a Marine Officer’s Sword in the center of the display, along with a set of Dress Blues Coat and trousers.
Under the Array of Chevrons you’ll find Ribbons and Badges, and an open space where we later added the Retirement Plaque.
Beneath that you’ll find the Marine’s picture and then a row of Unit Challenge Coins, in order of service.
The shadowbox was lined with red velvet, perfectly complimenting the artifacts within the shadowbox display.
Unfortunately, due to the large size of this retirement shadowbox, this custom-order is only available on a case-by-case basis, and for local pick up or delivery.
But we invite you to check out other shadowbox options and chests in our inventory. And as always, have a question? Let us know!
