USS Kerlew (ID-1325) was a USS Kerlew (ID-1325) was a United States Navy cargo ship in commission from 1918 to 1919. 

Hi Gábor..

Not necessarily, although it is "rare" it is not an official medal, so price quotation may not mean it is more coveted. I always give more value to the OFFICIAL medal. But for who Collects the VICs (Victory Medals), (not a very large group) These medals can be quite interesting. I what I think.

Best Regards

Dear all,

 

Could you please help confirming what type this medal is? Official, unofficial, copy? 

I am considering purchasing it.

Thanks a lot!

 

No, it's an Unofficial Type 2. without the sculptor's signature.

Note the absence of "O" on the back of the medal. Possibly made in France
It's a very hard medal to find I consider Rare.   A ribbon is invaluable.

Lambert 

Yes it's an Official medal with the Italian ribbon (maybe) .. It's a good piece.

French Medal of the 1920s, this model, described as "reproduction" by A. Laslo, is rarer than the production models of Czechoslovakia. 

nice example!

This medal is considered "a fantasy" , there is no evidence that it really was an official commemorative medal of the First World War. unfortunately.

Lambert 

I like it

Hello Gentlemen,

The Italian Victory medal unofficial type 3 is very rare...
I know only two collectors in Italy who have it,
one of this medal is in bronze, the other in white metal,
These medals have the "staffa" as a suspension device...
The medal in my photo is the one mentioned by Laslo on page 57 (note 18)

"The unofficial type 3 obverse design also apears on a Belgian medal of the period. ..."  

The reverse is blank

The suspension device is a ball

The ribbon is the same described by Laslo (note 18)

and it is the only medal I've seen of this type.

Can we consider this medal like "Italian unofficial type 3-A ?

its variety does not have the back of the medal, I got a picture of this example and the illustration of a book showing the variations of the Italian VIC.

The only allowed on the Vic British ribbon was the MID emblem.

Hello Paulo

I actually saw some commemorative medals 1905, with HMS Vitory in his verse. but this type I confess I did not know. Appeared to me here in Brazil in an auction house, I finished for a good price .. but I confess it was a "shot in the dark" I know nothing about it.

Hello Bilco

Yes, you can show in other forums. I'll send the photos by email

Thanks for answering. It really does have a lot of resemblance to my medal, but the details are not as thin as the one you showed. Could it be a copy of a private production?
