Gent's, Here's another momento... http://cgi.ebay.com/Mexican-Border-Service...1QQcmdZViewItem

Looks close enough to be a dead on match...... Interesting little awards that were created to give a little Valor to one's service. Thank you Bear for your added link. Regards, Joel

Mr. Floyd are you available? Regards, Joel

All I can say is that the medal truly tells a story and what a bit of Americana that now, ordorns my medal case.... I certainly can't find another to access value... Regards, Joel

Bear, Kudos to you my friend! Capt. Boyd seemed to be quite a revered Commander. Brings an interesting perspective to the medal thats for sure. Here is a bit of additional information....Obtained from the Arlington National Burial Registry ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY BOYD, CHARLES T 10TH U.S. CAVALRY VETERAN SERVICE DATES: Unknown DATE OF DEATH: 06/21/1916 DATE OF INTERMENT: 06/21/1916 BURIED AT: SECTION 2 SITE 3835-WS ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY

I'm still without avail on finding out any info on Capt. Boyd. The mystery continues....... Joel

Gentlemen, I just happened upon this little medal on Ebay and was wondering if anyone else has seen anything like it? Interesting obverse to this item for it is a special rememberance piece issued after the Campaigns. I love the eagle and the crest which still exhibits the hand painted flag. The reverse details all of the events of this particular soldier and his unit including the death of their officer, Capt. Boyd? (Whom, I'll have to research) Your thoughts are always welcome. Kind Regards, Joel

Kevin, Nice finds. Got to love the thrill of the hunt at the Flea Markets... Regards, Joel

I'm with Joe. Truly a nice collection you have there Darrell. Kind Regards, Joel

Gentlemen, Thought that this was an interesting find at a recent Flea Market. It is a colorized and original 1905 picture of the Porpoise and Shark Submarines in their cradles at the New York Navy Yard. Regards, Joel Darn desk lamp reflection.....

Brian, I would not clean it at all. I love the look of character and patina on my Crosses and I'm definately not alone in my thinking! Just my .02. Regards, Joel

dante, A surefire beauty! It's well preserved and a must have in my book for any discriminative EK collector. Regards, Joel

My "spidey senses" have always being tingling with any thing offered from Elite Militara. Be warned! Regards, Joel

That is absolutely stunning! That is definately a must have in any EK collection. Regards, Joel

hannibal, I believe it is wide open. Anything Normandy goes is my take on it. Love to see some additional pictures! Regards, Joel
