Are you looking for Sgt. Carraway or the German from whom he took the sword?

I'd like to find out about Sgt. Carraway.

I bought this over about 20 years from a Antique store in Columbia SC

I cant tell if cn4365 is reference to his service number or what.

I would like to be able get some service record info on this gentleman if I can but with no unit info it is like searching for the proverbial needle in a hay stack

I am guessing that is a Catalog Number for the store.
