Thanks Ralph, I always enjoy when you post a few of your rare treasures. I've been waiting for some the the members across the pond in Europe or even our Canadian or Chineese brothers to do the same.

Thanks Kevin for your comments, but as you know I have just have a small collection.
But I am also interested in seeing other members collections of medals. I hope soon they can post what they own, because I know not all of the varients have been posted from our fellow forum members...yet.Somebody, after all, had to make a start.

Hi,
I have not noted it before, but the color of the medallion in the middle of the badges is not correct, always in gold! The same mistake is also in the pdf file.
Regards

Uwe - Sorry to ask this, but I am not sure about your last post. So sorry for my question back to you. Are saying that the color of the medal in the center is incorrect? If it is, could it be just the way it was printed on the paper?Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others.

I believe what Uwe means is the color of the metal inside the red enameled medallion should be the same color as the medal. So for the Silver medal, silver and Bronze medal bronze. Only the gold medal in this illustration is correct.Comment

AHHHH!!! Got it. Now I see what Uwe was meaning...Thanks Kevin.

Right Kevin,
That is exactly what Uwe is saying. Eagle eyes.
I never noticed this before until now.

That is a beautiful Medal collection Ralph P, appreciate the pictures!
But i cant understand why the person these were awarded to sold them unless they are worth a Fortune!Comment

Thanks for your comments.
Including these medals, I also own other medals and documents that were presented to him during his career.
A possbile reason why they were sold may have been because he passed away and the family no longer wanted them.
