Collectorww2 Posted October 16, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 16, 2013 I'm thinking of adding this Medal of Honor to the collection, but I thought I'd ask for some opinions first. I am not doubting the originality of it, but I am far from an expert on them. Would this be the more modern version? Korea, Vietnam? PS: Before you ask, I am outside the US, so I can buy it legally.

LuftStalg1 Posted October 16, 2013 Share #2 Posted October 16, 2013 Well I have to say it looks ok to me. Not the best quality but it compares to some I examined that were produced in the 80's and 90's before the ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyrocket Posted October 16, 2013 Share #3 Posted October 16, 2013 The edging around the eagle device looks a little rough (unfinished), but the image could be the problem? Johnny R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaDave Posted October 16, 2013 Share #4 Posted October 16, 2013 Looks very similar to the final run of MOH's manufactured by Lordship Industries in the early 1990's, if I recall they left their hallmark off those. DakotaDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emccomas Posted October 16, 2013 Share #5 Posted October 16, 2013 You might compare this pendant to the MOH's that are for sale on emedals in Canada to get an idea of time frame, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyrocket Posted October 16, 2013 Share #6 Posted October 16, 2013 Since there is no ribbon/cravat...probably a half completed "back-door" Lordship item as mentioned above by DakotaDave. Johnny R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Soldier Posted October 16, 2013 Share #7 Posted October 16, 2013 Are those your pictures? Or the seller? I would request some pictures in natural light without the flash. The obverse is rather grainy looking, but that could be the lighting and the picture. It has promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collectorww2 Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share #8 Posted October 19, 2013 I decided to go for it,the seller is a fellow collector from a Norwegian forum who I have dealt with before.The medal looks to be the exact same type Dave had in his collection before the ban: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/174464-images-of-medals-of-honor-from-my-collection/ Once I get it, I will post some clear pictures.
