Good evening! From what I can see, this badge appears to be correct to me. I have not handled too many badges and am respectfully requesting a second opinion. There seems to be a black finish on the eagle. Thank you in advance! with much respect Paul

The first one from Desert Storm was a pilot... right?

Seeing these medals(or their ribbon bar representatives) on a person's chest would definately be a thought provoking sight. I will do some checking on the numbers of POWs from this war. I dont think that we have any known service men(women) in custody of the enemy at this time. I know that we had close to a dozen service men and women who were captured by the Iraqis in the first weeks of the war.

Are any of the higher ones engraved on the back.

Definately a possible group as we did have some POW's, yet the mounting is incorrect. The correct manner of wear on a uniform would be three medals in the bottom row(POW Medal, Nation Defense Service Medal, and Iraqi Campaign medal) and the Bronze Star and Purple Heart would be on the top row

Home made medal bar... This would not be a single bar. Per the regs, the bottom row would have the last three and the top row would have the top two. They are in the correct order. We did have a few soldiers who were POWs, so this is a possible combination. Are these attributed to any one person?

Isn't it?!?! I thought that the average price for these was around 350 dollars! I wonder how long that one will stick around? -
