Tiger-pie Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Reverse of the INTERFET medal showing the engraving. You will note that the Service No. is different. I received this medal before we changed to a new numbering system, which will probably give future collectors a headache when they obtain groups with more than one number. Even harder if they have to track down split groups. The "S" prefix indicates that I am a technical rating, an "R' prefix is what all the other sailors get, or more to the point, got.

Tiger-pie Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Last, and least in my personel estimation is this pitiful piece of sh#te they slung at us. May as well have put a riband onto a coin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger-pie Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 The engraving is neat but has a very rough feel to it as if it was never properly finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger-pie Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 And finally, the good lookin' rooster that I am, just after I received it. Not sure if the look on my face is disgust or indigestion from all the biscuits I ate at the presentation... Regards;Johnsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Nahhhh: too flat. Nice ribbons though. Sew-on bar: brilliant. Sooooo, why isn't your group mounted up? THINK of future collectors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
