bigjarofwasps Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Interesting is it usual to number these medals but not name them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFloyd Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 An early WWII strike under an Army contract.The numbering on this medal is a manufacturer's control step to ensure that the required number of pieces were made and delivered. A contract might be given to strike 10,000 medals, with the precise number range specified in the contract (e.g., 100001-110000).The Army often recorded the numbers on decorations in General Orders in early WWII, but very quickly discovered that to do so would be an administrative nightmare, so they stopped. The Navy never had their numbered, so that problem didn't arise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
