Pictures of Numbered medals required for book

[muckaroon1960]

Hi everyone sorry for the recent absence, all work and no play etc, anyways I have request to ask. Does anyone have any pictures I can borrow/copy please of either a numbered Purple Heart or Silver Star or even both? I only require the numbered edge of the medal for a book I am about to hopefully publish on U S military medals. I will of course acknowledge the owner of the pictures. Have already spoken to a publisher but need to finish off and cross the T' s and dot the lower case j's. Many thanks in advance.

Can you let us know when your books out? As I for one would very much like to buy a copy.

Check out the U.S. Militaria Forum at http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/. There are plenty of pics there.

Just remember to get written permission to use anyone's images beforehand.  Copyright infringement can be very costly as some have found out:

Thanks Tim I have one picture I need to get permission for. One of the reasons I asked was to make sure whomever allowed me to use their picture I would acknowledge but point taken and I will review all the pictures before I send to the publisher and if in doubt leave it out. I thought it only right though to ask permission as I have posted pictures on this forum before and seen them used by others. Now I don't mind but would have been nice to be asked first but there you have it.

Understand completely and some sites do not block search engines like Google, so the images posted in forums are more than often available for anyone to see doing a basic search.  I personally don't like that but its all up to the site whether or not that option is allowed.  Either way, you own the rights to the PIC's you take/make regardless.

Good luck!

Oh well if you can't borrow em, buy em...one I picked up earlier.

If you need other pictures, I've got a nice grouping that has a lot of numbered medals.

 

Please let me know in pm if you require some specific medals photos still.

[muckaroon1960]

Thanks Rogi much appreciated...I'm okay for now with numbered medals just need a picture of a split wrap brooch?

I am also after collecting a split wrap brooch medal of sorts so may be able to buy one (at the right price) for my

collection.

Here you go. Reverses of all the pre WW2 issues of the Purple Heart.
