Lets not forget those uniformed services that protect us on the home front.

Civilian Medals
Posted by Fred

Three different 25 year long service medals in gold..

What kind of appreciation do modern employers show their long term employees?

German Medal Group
Posted by Fred

 

This group spans two world wars, two foreign medals from Finland and 50 years of service.  Due to the black swastika, this group would be banned from a certain internet auction site and  illegal in France but not from the collections of true collectors and historical preservationists who refuse to ignore history.

United States Medal Group
Posted by Fred

Medal groups that are fully attributed are worth much more than the sum total of their component parts.
 
To honestly acquire and respectfully collect medals such as these is the constitutional right of every American.

Welcome
Posted by Fred


 
Greetings and welcome to my little coin-less corner of numismatics devoted to military and other award medals.

 

At the left end of this blog's banner you will see the emblem of the Light Horse Squadron, a Milwaukee based Wisconsin National Guard unit organized in 1880 to be the honor guard for President Grant and General Sherman who were in Milwaukee to attend the national G.A.R. reunion. The LHS was such an elite unit that members paid dues in excess of their National Guard pay. Above are scans of the lapel badge that proud members wore on their civilian clothing.

Now it’s your turn to show us something from your collection or an item that you need to know more about.
