Hallo Jim, perhaps it would be best if we explain to bovec1313 the way they are described in Mr. Laslo book, so he might have a better understanding about the clasps:- I would suggest that this enterprising marketing was done immediate post World War 1 up to the period of the start of WW2, especially with regards the French items being manufactured. These items were being sold mainly to allow the veteran to embellish his U.S. legitimate Inter-Allied Victory Medal award, which is understandable, and to my mind, this is not the same as fantasy / bogus items being manufactured for example say in regard to Third Reich items, which are made to sell to unwary collectors as rare, seldom issued pieces. The American veterans in most cases had serves, qualified for their medals, but for some reason felt the need to add unauthorized bars to show areas / battles they had specifically served in. Please feel free to add any thoughts or comments, Kevin in Deva. :cheers:

Hi bovec1313, In the book:_ The Inter-Allied Victory Medals of World War 1 (Second Revised Edition) by the late Alexander J.Laslo. Page 119:- With regards "CHATEAU THIERRY" with edge stars "MADE IN FRANCE" impressed on the back of the clasp. "CANTIGNY" with edge stars "MADE IN FRANCE" impressed on the back of the clasp. These are known unauthorized clasps. The only reference I find to a "SERBIA" clasp with regards unauthorized clasps is:- "noted only in miniature form." Kevin in Deva. :cheers:
