Stolen Recon Paddle

Denver CO

Description

Recon Corpsman paddle was stolen from Frontier check-in counter area back in June 2018. Paddle was inside of a black rifle case and placed on a cart for oversized baggage to be taken to the plane. No firearms were inside of the rifle case, only the paddle. Paddle is brown, wooden, and is wrapped with designs made from paracord in multiple colors. One side of the blade has the 2d Recon Bn logo engraved and military warfare and rank pins pressed into the wood. The other side has the rank HM3 and first and last name written. (Name not given in this post for privacy.) Assuming that the paddle was presumed to be a rifle and stolen from the oversized baggage cart. If you have or have seen this paddle, please let me know! The paddle tradition has important standing and symbolism within the Recon community. This paddle holds immense, sentimental value to those who made it and the person for which it was made.
