Stogieman Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 If I remember correctly, there's less than 250 Double medal winners. Makes for a narrow pool of recipients and hikes the rarity scale through the roof. I've only ever found one double ribbon bar, one double medal bar. I've only seen fotos of one more in a collection in Germany. (The owner likes to tease me and every month or so eMails me photos of some of his stuff..... how mean can a guy get?)

Mike Huxley Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 Stogie, I believe that the number of Double St Henry medal winners was even lower than that ..... In fact there was only 150 awards between 1914-18 of the Gold award and all but 7 of those received the Silver medal as well .... Now that does make them rare Here's that double bar along with a couple of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
