Dave Posted May 11, 2013 #27 Posted May 11, 2013 Unattributed Navy LOM Medal Bar.jpg I would bet money that belonged to a destroyer or destroyer escort commanding officer. Just too bad we will never know who...
uniformcollector Posted May 16, 2013 #28 Posted May 16, 2013 I love seeing mounted groups and would love to see some from members collections. My camera is down but when its up I will add some from my collection. Until then here are my two favorite mounted medal groups of all time they are NOT in my possesion but they are really cool an they both have US awards so they should be okay for this forum mods if they are not then please remove them. 15703_104789899559922_2437613_n.jpg Keith-Payne-Medal-Group.jpg I don't know a lot about foreign medals so, I am wondering how anyone could wear the bottom medal group on a uniform.
wolfman Posted May 23, 2013 Author #33 Posted May 23, 2013 I don't know a lot about foreign medals so, I am wondering how anyone could wear the bottom medal group on a uniform. Keith Payne never wore them mounted like that he wore them like this here's a good photo of him holding his longer rack
wolfman Posted May 23, 2013 Author #34 Posted May 23, 2013 Also JS that's 3 great groups you have there thanks for sharing
History Man Posted May 23, 2013 #35 Posted May 23, 2013 I must agree, JS those are great bar mounted sets! Brig, any history on the 2x WIA mount? Philip
Brig Posted May 24, 2013 #36 Posted May 24, 2013 I must agree, JS those are great bar mounted sets! Brig, any history on the 2x WIA mount? Philip Yes...quite a bit...it's part of a grouping I'll be doing a write up on when I get the time to scan everything and write it up, like with the Gonzalez group
Adam R Posted June 8, 2013 #37 Posted June 8, 2013 Group to Capt. William Seaman (Medical Corps), USN. All three campaign medals are original rim numbered BB&B strikes. Capt. Seaman died on active duty in 1929.
History Man Posted June 8, 2013 #39 Posted June 8, 2013 Beautiful medal bar Adam, I really like the earlier bar mounted groups. Philip
PaulR Posted June 10, 2013 #40 Posted June 10, 2013 Here is one of my favorite mounted CG groupings, to an aviation CPO.
PaulR Posted June 10, 2013 #41 Posted June 10, 2013 Here is a mini bar to an MM1. I have his full uniform as well.
Teamski Posted June 12, 2013 #42 Posted June 12, 2013 I posted this group a while back but I figured I would pull them out again. This is the funkiest mounted group I have ever seen. It looks like a British collector decided to get them loose mounted and I am sure it cost him a fortune to do it too! It is a group to Edward Braham who was a Marine on the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor. He obviously survived and retired as a MSgt in the USAF in 1969. The reverse of the medals are named, probably privately. They do look beautiful, though. -Ski

Marksman Posted June 13, 2013 #46 Posted June 13, 2013 They are realy unique! Thanks for showing! Never saw such long ribbons on a US Medal Bar before. Greetings Stefan

Adam R Posted June 15, 2013 #50 Posted June 15, 2013 This a bar mounted WWI Navy Cross and Sampson Medal group that I used to own. (It's now in a friend's collection.) The recipient was Capt. Roscoe C. Moody, USN.
