Dieter3 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I wonder, as a matter of opinion - for collectors of the war medals - is this the holy grail, or would it be an original Great East Asia War medal? If you could only have ONE or the OTHER - which would it be? (Don't you hate questions like that!? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Don't you hate questions like that!? ) They are both quasi rare, but I think the Great East Asia War medal is slightly more rare (but less attractive ) ...
