Chris Boonzaier Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I have just been offered a cased red cross medal 3rd class with the cardboard overcase saying "ony to be opened by the awardee"...Have not seen it yet... what should I look for? Any ideas?I guess the case and overcase is much more intresting than tzhe medal itself?ThanksChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Which type of medal? The nice round bronze one? The intermediate round zinky one? Or the "colonial" fore-and-aft holed shaped zinker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 These are around Chris, usually in nice double-boxed shape anything under $75USD would be a great price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Huxley Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Chris, Here's a couple of pics of my 3rd Class award in it's case with outer wrapper. I got it from Detlev a couple of years ago and I think it cost me 100Euros. This is the bronze one that Rick spoke about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Yep, the early (non-zinky) ones are the nicest for 3.kl. The Second Class with the red enameled cross is pretty spiffy looking too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 Hi,apparently it is zink. It is not round but comes to a slightly pointy shape at the top and is mounted on a bow of some sort.Will be able to supply better details soon.

Mike Huxley Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) Chris, This is my bronze one on a ribbon, I picked it up for a song .... ?3.00 on eBay.[attachmentid=18510]and the reverse[attachmentid=18511]It seems that it was stiched to the ribbon the wrong way round.

Chris Boonzaier Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 From what I see the ring was removed to sew it directly to the ribbon. it seems there was a pin of some sort, but no longer there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
