L.T. Col. H.L. KIRK is the name on the Campaign Metals. It looks like the next one is Captain H.L. Kirk. I will post pictures with inscriptions. BTW it is the intent of my friend to sell these metals at a later date. I am more interested in the history.

Thanks

Paul,

There are many Campain Metals with the lot. I was able to look those up in a book. I will check for names and Hallmarks when I get home. I do believe they were given to one person but I will find out more. Thanks for your help.

4 is uncertain any chance of a better image (preferably both sides) possibly 2nd Empire Legion d'Honneur Knight, 5 Is Order of the Redeemer (Greece) Otto I issue (1833-63), Officer's breast badge, the last (6) which is a bit of an Afro-Caribbean in the woodpile is the French Order of St. Louis (obsolete 1830). The other orders suggest Crimean War period.

These are quite valuable orders but without knowing the purpose for valuation (I don't want to help someone make a lot of money from Evilbay) this is as far as I am prepared to go.

Paul, Thanks for your information. I am a avid coin collector and a friend of mine brought me her dads collection to organize for her kids. She handed me a box of metals and asked if I knew anything. I use forums for my hobbies..... Knife, Gun and coin collecting and told her I could find something out on these. I am unsure of her intent to keep or sell but I too am not a fan of Evilbay and prefer to do my selling on Forums. I do not think there is much of a sentimental attachment to the metals so I assume she may sell at some point.

Thanks again for the information.

JD
