Chris Boonzaier Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 C'mon Chris.. we're dying to see it!Hi,its up on auction... the medal is not silver though, just "versilbert" (And at this auction house, it could mean cast lead) and a war time award doc (the kind without citation).

Stogieman Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 OK, not the issue piece then and other than the document.... not really worth chasing too hard. The doc for sure... the sinker, maybe it's a legit wearer's copy, but that's a tough argument to back-up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Gregory Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 The medal might be OK for display purposes, but the document is unique and definitely worth chasing, particularly in view of the location and events relating to its issue.Many spectacular orders were bestowed to officers who commanded units that were involved in famous actions, but an award for bravery to a simple soldier such as this was earned the hard way.If I had the funds available, I wouldn't hesitate to bid on it.
