Marcon1 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 (edited) Hi Archie, Thanks for the pictures + info (I had most of them, but didn't know what was what). You also showed me a medal I had no knowledge of, so again, thank you. But I'm missing one. Sabotage Campaign Medal — For veterans of MK's sabotage campaign which began in 1961. Any idea if it exist and how it looks like ?? Regards, Marcon1. PS: it's Hector Pieterson, not Peterson. ( a typo ?)

archie777 Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 (edited) Hi Marci, I'm glad I could help a bit The correct name should be Hector Pieterson. Mike also had it incorrect. I really don't know the Sabotage Campaign Medal, but will ask Mike. I found the attached picture somewhere, but don't know what it was Regards Archie Edited May 30 by archie777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megan Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Do these medals have any official standing (i.e., State-issued) or are they veterans' bling, available for private purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archie777 Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 Hi Megan, All I know is that they were officially awarded by the MK Military Veterans, but I never saw any Warrants. My friend Mike Evert designed them, as all the SAPS and Metro Police awards. I will find out if he have any documentation Regards Archie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megan Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Your friend has a good eye... some nice designs. Is MK Military Veterans an Old Comrades association? Or more governmental, like the US Veterans Administration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archie777 Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 Hi Megan, Yes, he really have a good eye. Another friend is currently busy with the designs of the SANDF 20, 30, 40 and 50 years medals and Mike assist him with some designs. The MK Military Veterans are governmental, as they even have a Minister handling their affairs. Still waiting for Mike's answer on documentation.
