Hallo erin,

welcome to the G.M.I.C. our members are more than happy to try and help you identify your items, we have a specific section devoted to helping with unknown items and if you were to post 1-3 items a week say over the next few months I am sure we could help you identify the items correctly.

To help identify the items pictures of both sides of the medals would be a great help or even scans of the medals.

Might just be the thing to help pass the time over the next few months.

And again welcome to the Forum.

I have so many metals that are beautiful with different slogans some in English and some look French and some I just have no idea I would like to find out more about them so that i may pass them along to collectors etc...Im quite careless and would not want something that might be so important and was once a honor to someone just to get thrown into a junk drawer some place, I have tried to search them out online and just have gotten no where...i can describe them I have some info that was stuck on little papers on the back but they have come off and i have no idea which metal goes with the little papers, there quite old...also found a Cantine money from germanys ss Bucconwald camp..excuse the typos...As stated im clueless about these items.. I can upload pictures but there are just so many , i dont know what to do, im ready to just stick them back in the drawer, anyone can tell me how i can just find a database to describe metals and words written on them, figure this mystery out...
