    1. Does anyone have any comments on this Croix de la Libération I recently acquired? If genuine at all it would have, I think, to be the first version struck in England by John Pinches as opposed to the post-war Paris Mint version with the black enamelled Cross of Lorraine on the obverse, but I'm struggling to make the call as to whether it is genuine or not. It appears, if my eyesight does not deceive me, to have a tiny ER (possibly EH/EA) struck on the base. Many thanks, Anthony
    2. Recently I acquired the two medals illustrated for a reasonable price as part of a small lot described as coming from the stock of a retired dealer. I was and am sure that the Military Medal is a copy but I am entertaining the faint possibility that the TFWM might be an original which has been erased. Or it might be a rather over-weathered reproduction! I notice that it has two very small initials (DM or BM?) at the base of the bust of the King on the obverse. I guess that these are the initials of the designer, Sir Bertram MacKennal. Is that a good sign? In terms of the relationship on the reverse between the "L" of "Territorial" and the pin of the suspender is similar to that shown in Narbeth's "Collecting Military Medals". Any comments would be warmly appreciated.
    3. Apologies for reopening a rather old thread but I wanted to ask, were these crosses ever issued without clasp, or would a cross without clasp be an unissued example?
