Paul R Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Wow Gary... You were not lying! Those bars are great! Being a lover of noncombattant awards, my attention was snatched by those last two! I am especially envious of the MOUNTED Mine Rescue/Service Medal!Awesome additions!
Guest Rick Research Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Hey! Are you saving them up to POST, or are you FINDING them in batches???I haven't got new bars in by the threes since the late 1980s!!! I haven't EVER seen a mounted Mine Rescue medal. What's the backing look like on that one? "Rare" is an understatement.
Gary B Posted June 29, 2006 Author Posted June 29, 2006 Hi guys, Thanks for the comments! Actually, Rick, I did get these in a batch of 3! It seems like it either rains or pours! It had been quite sometime since I had bought a medal bar and then these all popped up at once. Needless to say they also hurt my wallet! But I knew I would most likely never see a Mine Rescue Service medal in many years so I jumped at the opportunity. The Mine bar is in the safe now but the backing is the yellow wool that I have seen on other single bars, ususally NSDAP 10 year awards. Nothing "glows", ribbon condition mathces rest of mount. Just the stuff one looks for! Gary B
Avitas Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 I've never even seen the Mine Rescue for sale anywhere! It is indeed a unique and very nice medal, were there different classes of this medal as well? The first medal bar is a beauty as well of an obviously early war member who did some traveling obviously Nice stuff!Pat

Avitas Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Thanks for the PM Gary, I have bought off that site in the past and he always has lots of great stuff! The Mine Rescue medal is definitely a great unique item. Now just have to save up...Sigh...where's the lottery when you need it! Cheers,Pat
