Elmar Lang Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) Hello, I think I'm in the right mood to get into troubles (in the US, at least). After the two early MOHs, one non-engraved and one to a 27th Maine soldier; I've added a third one, also of the early type, but its reverse is nicely engraved with "Specimen", done in a fine, cursive font. What where such specimens intended for? Any further info, would be most appreciated. Many thanks in advance, Enzo (E.L.)

Elmar Lang Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 Dear Paul, thank you for the reply. Yes, the "specimen" engraving, surely indicates those purposes. All the best, Enzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Lang Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) To add something to the discussion, I would like to post a few pictures of the Medals of Honor I've talked about in this thread. I've been impressed by the rich detail of each piece. The reverse of the third piece bears no engraving. Best wishes, Enzo (E.L.)
