Signalcorps45 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Hello to everyone, I picked this bar up at OVMS show last weekend. It has a commemorative medal on it that I have not seen. Has anyone seen this medal before? Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 That is a REALLY neat unofficial medal--not only just at the point when battle bars were being authorized along with the "25" oakleaves for Iron Crosses... but to be made out of captured French cannon--just like the 1870/71 War Medal! A really interesting one--and no indication who ISSUED it!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signalcorps45 Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Rick, Thank you for looking at it. I have no information on this medal and was hoping someone could shed some light on where it came from. Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyanacek Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Hi Dean, It's a really great medal bar and I bet you were the only one in attendance at the show that would appreciate a bar like this. I'm glad it found a good home. Best regards, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
