Taz Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hi Greg,That is the Cuban Liberator Medal which was awarded for service in the Cuban Revolution of 1895-1898 including the actions of the Spanish American War. The ribbon is correct for this medal although it should have a metal suspension part to it, above the medal ring with a star in the middle, and wreaths to either side. On the reverse it would read Freeman, Mercaderes 2, Habana.There are Silver, gold plated and copper versions of the medal. The silver medal is regarded as the highest class.Regards Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 A good number of U.S. Spanish-American war veterans applied for and received this medal. It is not uncommonly seen in vets' photos well into the 1940s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJLA Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 http://cubamuseo.net/inferior-stamp/47 Not only that, but one had to pay for their own medal. According to the advertisement, you don't need to submit ones paperwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
