FlyNavy02 Posted April 5, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 5, 2020 Need help to identify this World War Service Medal, marked in the reverse: "ROBBINS CO / ATTLEBORO / STERLING" Obverse has enameled letters "ST. M C U" but not sure of the order of the letters. The crown in the center may be masonic. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyBerry2013 Posted April 8, 2020 Share #6 Posted April 8, 2020 It is a Royal Arcanum medal but not sure yet what the letters mean. Thr Royal Arcanum was a fraternal benefit society that was formed in Boston in the late 1870s. I am aware of one that was given to members from Queens NY. If I can find the lodge that your medal belongs to I will let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyBerry2013 Posted April 9, 2020 Share #8 Posted April 9, 2020 I believe the letters mean United Mass state council. The lodges were called councils the st I believe means state and since it was began in Mass the m stands for Mass. that’s the best I can do. If you ever decide to part with it let me know. I have over 1,000 City medals so would be interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
