taquito22 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I saw this female Boxer Rebellion Medal at a military collectables show. Has anyone ever seen one of these? Would you consider it more desirable / valuable than the male version? Thanks (sorry for the poor quality of the picture...it was a cell phone camera) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFloyd Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Interesting. I've never seen a bow-mounted Boxer Campaign Medal before, but I do notice that it is constructed differently from the other bow-mounted pieces in the case. I'd want some additional information on the way this one is put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul L Murphy Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Somebody has made this up. War medals were awarded on a straight ribbon even when given to a female recipient (I have 1904-05 medals to female nurses and they are the normal issue medal, not a bow ribbon). Commemorative medals and orders were worn on a bow ribbon, as were Red Cross medals. War medals were not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichC Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Maybe you should have bought the women's version of the 1940 Manchukuo Shrine Foundation Medal (lower right). That is certainly a medal you rarely see... Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter3 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Was there ever a bow done for the Korean Annexation medal?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
