Guest Darrell Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Said it before and I'll say it again.........just cherry, absolutely wonderful medals. Are you collecting examples of Liberation medals from each country that issued them?Not as in right now. I've been grabbing these as opportunity arises, but not going out of my way to look. The last two cased examples I've owned for a while already.Thanks again
Guest Darrell Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) As posted elsewhere and identified as a Saudi "Valour" award ... it was handed out for participation in the 1991 Gulf War. Maybe not a direct "Liberation of Kuwait" medal ... but ... isnt that what that war was all about?Obverse: Edited July 30, 2006 by Darrell
Guest Darrell Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) Here's a couple of the United States manufactured versions of the Kuwait and Saudi Liberation medals. Although close, the Kuwait is obviosuly "different". The Saudi one has that "Flat-Matt" yellow medal used in most of todays current medal strikes.Kuwait Version Obverse: Edited July 30, 2006 by Darrell
ehrentitle Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 6. Saudi Arabian Medal for the Liberation of Kuwait (Official Saudi Arabian Cased Set).Medal in Case Obverse:Darrell - Great set of medals! It made me look at my Saudi issued Liberation of Kuwait Medals. I have two each in simular but different sized cases and the back is a bit different. So there are at least two variations of this medal. Keviin
Chris Boonzaier Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 How far can a man and his ego go? Veeeery far......I used a trip to Asia to have a Saudi medal redone...As this is hidden in the French sector i thought I would add it here as well...
Chris Boonzaier Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Above right is the chromed key ring.... middle is a chromed keyring that has been dremelled, chrome removed to its brass base metal, sharp corners removed and silver plated.Right is a sterling silver piece... much finer and lighter....
