​

RICHARD MANISCALCO – Consultant and Photographer

Richard began collecting in 1955 at the age of 10 when he was given a German P-38 pistol by a 99th Division veteran who brought it back from the Battle of the Bulge. This ignited a flame of interest that continues to this day. He has collected militaria for 40 years prior to opening a successful online business in 2005. Unfortunately, this business was forced to close down in December 2014 after 11 years of successful operation due to personal reasons.

​

Richard retired from 30 years of Federal service in 2013. He is a United States Marine Corps veteran having served 4½ years from 1963 to 1967. In February 1966 he was deployed for a 16 month tour of duty in the Republic of South Vietnam, serving first with Marine Fighter Squadron VMF (AW) 235 and then with 1st Battalion, 9th Marines. He was awarded the Purple Heart for wounds received in combat and the Presidential Unit Citation. He now devotes most of his time working to insuring that your experience in dealing with THE DOGFACE SOLDIER will be a pleasant and rewarding experience for us all.
