NavyFCO Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Maybe I'm off but I believe the serial numbers on both the Red Star and OGPW2 were replaced. The group is nice, but as far as I'm concerned, it's made up of only the two For Valor medals... Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Yes...there are definite signs of alteration on the numbers of the two orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
