Teamski Posted September 14, 2018 Share #4 Posted September 14, 2018 ....But then again, the blue field looks too narrow. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckerf Posted September 14, 2018 Share #5 Posted September 14, 2018 Burma Star has orange stripes not yellow, also the blue stripes are darker. might be California National Guard Medal of Valor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeclown Posted September 14, 2018 Share #6 Posted September 14, 2018 Is it standard length 1 3/8" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captainofthe7th Posted September 14, 2018 Share #7 Posted September 14, 2018 It does look like the Burma Star...BUT as mentioned above the colors and dimensions are not quite accurate. I'd also add that the British/Commonwealth ribbons are normally coarser weave with a 'scalloped' edge and would be shorter than 1 3/8". I agree the ribbon is probably for the CANG Medal of Valor. The colors and dimensions match. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
