Hi Darrell,

Very nice collection of French medals you have here !!!!

The Verdun medal is a not an official one. I think there were 6 models or types. Yours is called the "Vernier" type.

Cheers.

Can anyone reccomend any internet dealers of French medals, groups, documents, and so on?

Many thanks!

Bill,

I've just received a nice citation for a Croix de Guerre awarded in early 1915. I bought it on www.ebay.fr. There are always plenty of medals to be had there for a lot less than what the usual online dealers ask.

If I can coax my scanner into working, I'll post an image in a new thread.
