France French wound medals?

[Chris Boonzaier]

Guys, we have seen some nice variations here on the forum... I guess it needs no telling that they are needed for a project?

How about a rough show of hands as to who has what and some pics to whet the appetite??

I have never even seen an image of this medal!

Hello Chris,

The picture of one in my collection is already in the theme thread. I'm not sure how many recognized variations there are but at least 12 according to an old dealer's catalogue - I too would like to see pictures of them but fear the forum members can't come up with them ! Prove me wrong gents !

Cheers,

Hendrik

Hi there,

the Wound Medal with RED anamel is for the military.

The civil medal has WHITE enamel.

Unfortunately I`ve sold my collection of W-Badges/Medals some years ago.

If not known to you, please check this site with some variation of the named medal:
