Hi all and thanks so much for checking your rosters. I triple checked the #’s as my tired old eyes are not what they used to be. And checked with a loupe too. The numbers definitely are 16355. So I do believe you are right that it was awarded to Mr. Voss. Thanks for all the help 👍🏼

Hello all, Picked this up off eBay a week ago. Missing brooch but numbered and I believe it falls into the traceable range. It’s numbered 16355. Might any of the great Forum friends here have access to the records and be able to identify the hero who was awarded this medal? Many thanks and grateful appreciation for any help that may be forthcoming. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all, stay safe and let’s look forward to a long anticipated 2021 with all our shows reopened after the long military show drought of 2020. 🙏🏻 Thanks again, Tom

Thank you very much, I will have to do some research on Gen. Hardin. Maybe there are pics of him on the internet to compare to. Now I have a project to keep me busy during this virus crisis. 👍🏼

Wow, thank you Forum friend Bill. I am greatly appreciative. 👍🏼 Tom

Sorry for the upside down view in the last photo. 😕

Hello all, Found this medal while sorting through a box of miscellaneous items, forgot I had it and can’t for the life of me remember where it came from. LOL 😆 Ribbon just hanging by a thread but all there. Numbered No. 4554. Was hoping maybe one of my more knowledgeable and better resourced Forum friends may be able to supply a name/regiment/hometown as to the hero who was awarded this for his invaluable service to our Nation. Thank you all for any and all help that may be provided. Stay safe all during this coronavirus crisis, and my fervent hopes are we all can resum

Thanks Kurt.

Thanks too for dating the time frame of the carte. 👌🏼

I think stars. And his buttons on his tunic are in the configuration for a general officer if I’m not mistaken. Did majors’s also have their buttons in rows arranged in pairs of 2 with 16 total?

Nice find and happy you were able to get the grouping to preserve as there were no immediate family to pass down to. 👌🏼

Hello all, Picked this carte up on eBay last week, he was in an auction lot of civilian cartes, all unidentifiable. He his wearing a Brigadier General Star on each shoulder without an sort of shoulder steps. Is this common? Was hoping one of my more knowledgeable and better resourced a Forum friends may be able to identify him from his image. Back marked out of Chicago so I am assuming he is an Illinois Native. Any help forthcoming will be appreciated, and as always thanks to all for any help provided. Keep safe during this coronavirus crisis, hoping in 2021 we all can

Thanks so very much AustinO. Forum friends such as you are the reason this site is so beneficial and helpful to all members. Tom

Thank you very much to two great Forum friends, Beast and smwinter 👌🏻👌🏻 Being buried in Delaware County Pennsylvania makes sense he was in the 28th Keystone Division.

Hello all, Here’s some pics of a new acquisition this week. I’m proud to be the new caretaker of this hero’s award. I found him on Find A Grave. Born in 1887, died 1973and interred in Delaware County Pennsylvania. With an obvious Italian name I was wondering if maybe he saw service in Italy during the Great War. Hoping some of my Forum friends may be able to pinpoint him 🤞🏼Thanks so much for any help forthcoming. Heart is numbered # 33694. Thanks so much, stay safe, Tom

A big THANK YOU VERY MUCH to two great Forum friends here for their help and expertise, collectsmedals, and moderator stratasfan. 👍🏼👏🏼 Tom
