jshorter Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Hello everyone!I have been told that the War Commemorative Medal 1870-71 was sometimes issued as a replacement, etc., and that it would not have been rim impressed "From Captured Canon." Is this true, and does it make the medal any less valuable or historically accurate / interesting?Thank you!Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 The original issued pieces were impressed "from captured cannons." Private purchase replacements were not.Less value, yes, especially if loose and not in mounted groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
