The rest came this afternoon,it's a french m******233;daille militaire in a salty box but i really don't know if it is from the same owner .
All these items are far from my area of collection and i'm thinking to sell on the estand.

Actually the last medal is a Croix de Guerre and not a Medaille Militaire.

Yes Darell you're right,another medal with the wrong box today .

But no matter. Some great looking stuff. That DSO command many $$$$ now days

[martin guerre]

Thanks all for the nices comments .
What can be the real price for this very nice DSO right now in 2006 ?

[Tony Farrell]

Boxed unattributable George V issues are going for around £900 - un-boxed slightly less. Even contemporary tailors' copies fetch around £300-400. Absolutely silly prices considering there were nearly 10,000 awarded. Attributable DSOs obviously command significantly more. I'd say you did rather well.

Thanks for your help Tony .

[martin guerre]

Thi one is for sale on the estand today .

A fellow COLLECTOR have some concern about this DSO medal.
Is this DSO official or unofficial ?
What are your thoughts about ?
Thanks for your time and knowledge .
Martin.

Well, it looks OK to me, but I am not an expert on DSOs (or anything else for that matter). Any reservations could arise from the suspicion that it could be a tailor's copy - albeit a contemporary one. I've PM'd you.

Thanks Tony .

After few days searching about this DSO medal and more advices from collectors and dealers it seems that this one is totally genuine/ period done.99,99 % of them said that this DSO is ok and have no problem with .
There was different makers for this kind of awards with different quality products and it's the reason why all haven't the same matching details with wreath,crown and cypher.
This one is still for sale on the estand .

Alright, call it 100% of collectrs

My sceptisism made me miss a good deal
