Veteran Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Hello everyone This Crimea medal has a strange period ribbon : instead of a clasp it carries a "pip" sewn on the obverse. Could this pip be made to complete the story. I have never seen anything quite the like. Comments will be gratefully received. Thank you Veteran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QSAMIKE Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 If the medal is Un-Named it may have been issued to an officer and he just added the pip himself..... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veteran Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) If the medal is Un-Named it may have been issued to an officer and he just added the pip himself..... Mike Nice of you, Mike, to start with an opinion. I fully agree with your idea, and I rather hope the "pip" will be able to tell us a little more. The medal was unnamed, as issued. I have been wondering if the "pip" could not have been added some time after the campaign, possibly to remember a second lieutenant who could have been killed in that war, or could have died some time after.

Best regards Veteran Seems to be a possible answer. I think often families add all the bits and pieces in a way that seems logical to them, but maybe not to us.
