JapanX Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Very common Medal of Honor with very uncommon set of bars appeared recently at YahooJapan The medal itself was issued in 1957. First golden bar was added in 1971, two golden bars were added in 1975 and the last golden bar cavalier received in 1977. Dōnātor with the very larga manu!

utopis Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 A very interesting construction. Not those lousy prong-attached bars the Germans used to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 As far as I understand all add-on bars from late 20s until 1945 were marked with M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Really like the boxes for these additional bars Nice example of boxed bar that was issued in 1941. Edited June 2, 2013 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Interesting, that some of the bars on the first medal (with four golden bars) are marked too (with later two-digit-letter marks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter3 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I can't make out those letters. Bottom looks like "D?", can't read top one at all. Can you make them out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Yep, looks like D something ... The upper 9G? Photo is too vague to be sure ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
