Troy Tempest Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hello gentlemen! I received this today, and it was labelled Saudi Arabian 1991 Gulf War Combat medal for US servicemen. Is this correct please? I don't have a photo of the reverse, but it is smooth sided.Is that the correct name of this award? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry I didn't think to go through all the posts on the Saudi section. When you say it is often misidentified on ebay, do you mean like the description I was given, or in some other way? I have also placed a permanent search in ebay and Amazon for The Red Bible by McDaniel & Schmitt. Is that the correct title? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 The medal has a eBay identification of almost anything you can imagine. Some defy credibility.On Soviet: "The Comprehensive Guide to Soviet Orders and Medals", McDaniel and Schmitt, 1997A source, not the only one: http://collectrussia.com/DISPITEM.HTM?ITEM=11010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Tempest Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Thanks again Ed, and I've changed the search from 'Red Bible' to the correct title. There sure are a lot of hits when I type in Red Bible! Unfortunately none of them were about Soviet Awards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
