      Thanks, Daniel. I was distrusting my memory!
    2. Ed_Haynes
      That was my thought too???
    3. Ed_Haynes
      As most of these weren't gazetted, they are hard to trace.
    4. Ed_Haynes
      The way it should look (my uncle's):
    5. Ed_Haynes
      Yes on, on US Army Good Conduct Medal ribbon (not contemporary). Quite a "mule".
    6. Ed_Haynes
      OK, guess that makes him deserving of "special attention" in this thread?
    7. Ed_Haynes
      If you are right Jim, how is it that he belongs as a part of this thread?

      And, Dave, I think if we could deduce the story there, we might know more about these anniversary badges. I love puzzles!
    9. Ed_Haynes
      Thanks to both of you!

      As I recall, there was a very good piece on this medal in the JOMSA some years back. Let me look . . . .
    11. Ed_Haynes
      The first variety was painted rather than enameled, and that variety is heavily faked.

      David Harris' fine "A Guide to Military Temperance Medals" (the OMRS publication alluded to above) shows this as RATA.6 (p. 53), the Royal Army Temperance Association medal for 6 years of temperance (oooooffff), awarded for British troops in India. The hallmark is the lion, indicating manufacture in India. The correct ribbon is 38 mm, white edges with a 18-mm red center stripe.

      Yeah, one of the problems of using image hosting rather than posting normally to the forum.
    14. Ed_Haynes
      This is indeed an odd one, and one I'd be careful with. The number is at the super-high end of the "cross" variety (our working type 1.3), but it sure doesn't look enameled to me (seems pretty surely a type 1.1). The numbering style seems strange too. This medal is being faked and this may well be one of those?

      A better image (though not great), Medal of Courage, 3rd degree.
    16. Ed_Haynes
      True. It is almost impossible to say anything from the scans presented. Moreover, it it hard to tell what relationship the thread title has to these awards. Help???
    17. Ed_Haynes
      Not our specific area but maybe of some interest, and in a forum where I suspect most of us would never look. A cross-reference: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=16967

      To my eyes and my magnifying lens, it seens (1) contemporary and (2) close enough to match other writing on the document. I do find the award of this badge as late as September 1973 to be odd but, being Mongolia, stranger things have happened.

      Thanks!

      From the Kravchenko group. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=6207 Unfortunately mis-mounted on the usual Soviet all-purpose red ribbon. Identification, please??? And can someone show (or help me get) the real thing?

      Oh, yes, sorry, I forgot. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5058&st=03 Oops!
    23. Ed_Haynes
      Know it has until recently been on a dealer's website. Let me look back . . . .
