New minor US additions

[IrishGunner]

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.

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:

Thanks for the info, looks pretty nice.

Frank,

There are actually two types of PA WW1 Victory medals as can be seen here:

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.

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. ;)
