I'm making a shadow box for my wife using her dad's WWII decorations. I'm curious how they should be mounted to be period as compared to current Army regs which I think are in rows of 3. I'd appreciate some photo of examples. His awards are pretty routine for the Pacific theater. Good Conduct American Theater Asiatic Pacific Theater 3 stars WWII Victory medal Phillippine Liberation medal Thanks Dan

Are you sure its Golden? I had one once and with the tarnish it look golden but was really silver, with golden swords. F?rstlich Hohenzollernsche Hausorden Silberne Verdienstmedaille von 1842 mit Schwertern The Princely Hohenzollern Silver Service Medal with Swords was issued from the Principality of Hohenzollern in Sigmaringen. It was awarded between the years 1851-1927, with records indicating a total number of awards to be 6034. Awarding was to lower officials. Von Hessenthal/Schreiber dates the first awards of the silver service medal with swords to non-commissioned officers and enlisted men of Carl-Anton Prince von Hohenzollern's Hohenzollern Fusilier Regiment Nr. 40, in 1871. Actually, followed the first awards between 1866 and 1869. The statutes of the Princely Hohenzollern Decorations states: " ohne Unterschied des Ranges und Standes solchen Personen verleihen werden, welche durch Treue im Dienst, oder ohne Anstellung im Staatsdienste, durch vorz?geliche Verwendung in Staats- oder Gemeindeangelegen-heiten, durch n?tzliche Erfindungen und Anstalten dieser Auszeichnung sich w?rdig erzeigen." "May be awarded to such persons indiscriminate of rank and standing, which through faithful service, or without appointment in civil service, through excellent employment in civil or community business, through beneficial inventions and institutions shows himself deserving of this decoration." ? 6 Absatz 3 der Statuten des F?rstlich Hohenzollernschen Ehrenzeichens vom 5. Dezember 1841

His Original Medal in the State Museum. Some have the incorrect ribbon, which I mentioned to the curator. He didn't seem to care. Stereotypical bureucra When I take the photo out of the frame the center is missing in the Legion of honor also. Must have popped out back when he received it.

I saw this on another forum and couldn't post pictures. It was a good tread and I thought I'd import the idea here. Hopefully there are some takers. Here's my cousion Private Thomas Croft Neibaur. He is a Medal of Honor recipient from the Great War. His decorations are: USA: MOH, PH, Victory Medal with 5 Clasps, France: Legion of Honor Knight, Croix d'Guerre, Italy: Cross of War, Montenegro: Bravery Medal

USA INTER-ALLIED VICTORY MEDAL (ORIGINAL ISSUE).
Daniel Cole replied to Kev in Deva's topic in United States of America
My second cousin, twice removed (abit distant I admit, but why one does geneology in the first place) was in the 42nd Rainbow Division. Here is my example of that Unit's Victory Medal. My relatives original medal is in the Idaho state museum here in Boise. His name was Thomas Croft Neibaur and he was a recipient of the Medal of Honor. He was the first Idahoan and Mormon to be a Medal of Honor Recipient. Dan
