A few of us are on the GMIC on a daily basis, many more weekly or monthly and some only when we have a question. Probably none of us read every post in every sub-forum, so new posts do get missed.

That said, welcome to the GMIC.  Your question is a perennial one, to which there is no 'right' answer.  Displaying the award in its original box is nice but often unwieldy, so many of us mount them in frames or, depending on numbers, in 'wallets', often wth the boxes stuck away in a drawer.  However, if the box is more than plain cardboard, it adds a nice formality to the award.  Your choice, and happy collecting!

Sorry for being a bit snappy. I guess I'm used to quick responses from other forums and reddit. The only boxes I have that are visually interesting are the Japanese ones. I have a bunch of original American WW II era stuff that was never issued and are are still in their blue cardboard boxes but its nothing really to look at. I might put those in wallets then.

So have I not followed proper decorum or are you not that social?

Should you keep the medal separate from its presentation box and in a medal wallet? Or is it fine to just leave it in its proper box?

And I got it to work. I'm pretty sure it's a type 1.

Hello all, I just joined the forums and I was going to show off my most recent find. It just came in the mail today. I'm running into error message with the heading, "-200".
