Zulu_00 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Hi all, has anyone here seen or owned any unique or rare medal combinations? I've labelled this as British medals but any unique or rare combinations are welcome! Pictured is a group from a thread on unusual groups featuring QSAs or ABOs from the Anglo-Boer War Forum.

drspeck Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Do miniature medals count? This miniature medalbar to Adolphus of Teck is in my collection. The gold 1897 medal makes this unique or otherwise very rare. Best. Peter 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcon1 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 On this page it says Victory Medal II WW - maybe someone misread it and used a I WW medal ribbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
