Unusual Pairing?

Estate sale find today. 1/2 inch US Air Medal and British Commonwealth Air Crew Europe Star. Clutchback with top hat clutches. Taped backing. British made? Was this ribbon ever approved for wear by USAAC members? And vice versa for the Britsh air crews?

 

Thanks, Al

I think these are NJ National Guard Ribbons - NJ Faithful Service Medal and NJ Medal of Merit

 

I always say "When in Doubt" - Check the National Guard Lists

Thanks to USMCR79, he correctly identified the ribbons. Now, with the 1/2 inch ribbons and the vintage top hat clutches, could these be WW2 or earlier? Am starting now with research on the original dates of the awards.

 

Thanks, Al
