IrishGunner Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Nothing overly special in this lot; picked up last weekend at an antiques market on Saturday and a gun show on Sunday. Fills some minor holes in my US wants. Edging back in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishGunner Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 What's the medal at top right?? Never seen that before... Frank, it's the Pennsylvania WWI Victory Medal for the 28th Div vets. A large number of unissued medals were discovered a few years; so, there are dozens of these around still in the original boxes/paper. That's what this one is ... rather than an issued piece. It cost $12 at the gun show. Crazy e-site has these for insanity prices in the $100s sometimes! :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speagle Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Rick, I have quite a few US medals and ribbons (Army, Navy and AF). If you are still in need of some please let me know and we will see if I can help fill some of the holes.

IrishGunner Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) Ed, thanks for the offer. My US "wants" are few and quite minor. Usually just pick something up at an antique market just so I don't go home empty handed. ;) Edited August 14, 2011 by IrishGunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
