      I may have an opportunity to purchase a Society of the Army of Santiago commemorative medal, and I'm wondering what they're worth approximatly. This particular one is of the gold grade, and is unattributed. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

      36.62mm in diameter; 23.2gr. gross weight. I'll have to grab my daughter-in-law and have her take a closer picture of the back, but when I do, I'll post it.

      I guess I should have known better, but I just never even considered that the VC/NVA would have had any awards to speak of. Nice presentation, Bob.

      Kevin, there are no hallmarks on the reverse, nor is 'Paul Dubois' on the front. It does have a French ribbon, but there is no indication on the rim that it was made in France. Any ideas?

      You've done yourself proud, Dan. The ORS is especially nice. :rolleyes:

      Welll, thanks Gents. At least I have a little information to go on.

      It's my understanding that they learned everything they knew about winning the hearts and minds of people from the Imperial Japanese Army.

      What can anyone tell me about the Korean Participation medal for the VN War? I have found next to no information on them; what I have found was on GMIC. Are they supposed to be rare? Are they expensive? There were thousands of ROK's in Vietnam. Yet I have never seen one for sale, either on a forum or on evilbay. What's the story on these anyway?

      And these shots as well.

      I got this a few days ago. Any comments?
    12. Obergefreiter
      Can anyone tell anything about this medal, ie manufacture, type?
    13. Obergefreiter
      Thanks, Gents. The capbadge will come off tomorrow, when I get home from work. Guess I'll have to look for an earlier version. Can anyone tell me anything about the medal? ie manufacture, type, etc? Any information will be gratefully appreciated. Thanks. Nick.

      Would this item be an NVA Victory Medal?

      Unfortunatly, when you get right down to it, the same can be said about any number of medals from any number of countries. :unsure:

      Merci beaucoup. :cheers:
    17. Obergefreiter
      Thank you very much, Paul. You just saved me fifty bucks. NGL.:cheers:
    18. Obergefreiter
      This is for sale on eBay for about fifty bucks US. Is it genuine, and is the price about right?
    19. Obergefreiter
      Thanks for your comments, Gents. To be perfectly honest about it I have a terrible eye for detail on things like this, but the hinge, pin & catch are what raised the red flag in my eyes. Mr. G. is just going to have to sell it to someone else. Thanks again. NGL.

      That was one of my questions, inasmuch as it doesn't look like others I've seen from that time. I thought it might have been a remake from around WW1. He has it priced at $1,925:00, which is almost half of what I've seen them go for lately.
    21. Obergefreiter
      No on has any thoughts or opinions on this cross? :unsure:
    22. Obergefreiter
      What is the verdict on this 1870 EK I, and why?
    23. Obergefreiter
      No one has a clue about this buckle? :unsure:
    24. Obergefreiter
      No, it doesn't need repairs. The thing was manufactured with the seperate breachblock assembly that you see. That setscrew that you see in the picture is what opens it up for cleaning & maintainance. I suspect that this particular piece of engineering was the kiss of death for it. You loose the screw and you don't have a gun; you have a nice paperweight.
    25. Obergefreiter
      It is a very nice little piece. It's very tight, even after almost 100 years. But I'm thinking that that funky breachblock assembly was the kiss of death for it after the war.
