Beau Newman Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Silver-gilt MSHMs are silver medals that have been gilded later. All issue pieces were either gold or bronze gilt. They have a very strong "prooflike" appearance with a distinct cameo contrast between the devices and the fields. The S-C-G medal may just be a case of the jeweler replacing the suspension to make it easier to mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 That is just foolish..... Beau is correct regarding the medal. If it's silver gilt it's not a legit gold medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saschaw Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 The bar tries to suggest to be from China era, pre-WW1. Makes it even worse. I do not even like the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
