1st type Vietnamese Military Merit Medal

[Garth Thompson]

I picked up this scarce little gem sitting on a table in some other misc medals at the recent SOS in Louisville, KY. It is a first type Military Merit Medal of Vietnam with the Bao Dai obverse. This one looks to be a Vietnamese made medal vice a French made one. Anyway it is a seldom seen variant.
