Nice ... these are some very "unknown" medals for sure

I have never seen these before either! I wonder how often they are awarded?

It's a great topic, I believe this whole area of collecting is underappreciated. It's not as high visibility or sexy as military awards. Kevin

Yes. This group of medals have some really unusual and classic designs to them. Something that is missing with many of the Military Medals.

The thing that surprised me when I became a Gov't civilian a few years back is that even though these are less frequently awarded than military awards for service and achievement, they are not held in high regard by most Gov't civilians, at least were I work. Even thought someone might get just one or two of these awards in a career, time off or monetary incentive awards are what folks really appreciate. Kevin
