    The oldest medal I own, Nassau 16 year Faithful service.

    I've had my eye on this out-of-place medal at a local pawn shop for several months now, I finally went to buy it this weekend. The shop owner gave me a good deal since I spent the time researching and informing him about it.

    Took some proper photos of it to replace the the ones in this thread. Tim Ericson has a replacement ribbon for it, but I don't have a checking account to pay the man. I'll have to bribe a family member!



    Anyway, I'm excited to have this little relic. I'm afraid it will only feed my hunger for early imperial awards (well it's technically not imperial, is it?).

    Enjoy

        You're totally right, this is actually not Imperial.

        Unsual find... good luck for more of them!

          I throw around the award date and it doesn't seem like much, but when I really think about it is amazing how old this little bugger is. I just have to think about my country's history to put it in perspective, this was likely made well before the Civil War!

          Thanks!
