easterneagle87 Posted July 23, 2021 Share #403 Posted July 23, 2021 Here is a great grouping I missed yesterday from a local auction house. I put a pretty decent bid on this lot and another of patches. The AF officer, J. Vic Beckett, served from WW2 to Vietnam retiring as a LTC. The neatest thing about the mini rack is the inclusion of the Peruvian Order Of Aeronautical Merit. I really dig seeing unique foreign awards awarded to US personnel. There were no full size medals in the lot. That would have been cool to see! And most likely he was awarded Peruvian AF pilots wings as well, If a forum member snagged this from the NorCal area, please post some pictures of neat find.

order_collector Posted September 23, 2021 Share #406 Posted September 23, 2021 Nice groups you have. Is it possible to determine the cavalier of these group of miniatures. I assume end of ww2 production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted September 24, 2021 Share #407 Posted September 24, 2021 Likely late 40s/early 50s... the WWII campaign medals weren't actually made until a year or two after the war, during the war only ribbons were produced due to material restrictions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other question is still open, is it possible to determine the recipient? Bought it by mistake and don't want to brake a group, but if there is no chance to attribute it, prefer to sell them separatly to retrieve as much cost as I can.

Brig Posted October 2, 2021 Share #409 Posted October 2, 2021 Unlikely, not that unique a combo. Not convinced the DSM belongs with the group. That said, loose mini medals aren't worth a lot, and this is one of the rare occasions where the group might be worth more than the parts because some people may want to attempt it as a research project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweazy21 Posted November 23, 2021 Share #413 Posted November 23, 2021 I don’t do single minis as much as I used to, but I had to have this one as soon as I saw it. Not a grouping but I feel it still deserves to be shared here. Then again mini might be pushing it? Mini gold life-saving medal, I honestly didn’t realize how big it actually was until I got it in hand. Made by BB&B. I’ve included a miniatures order of world wars and special meritorious service medal just to give a comparison to normal miniatures. Also included a dime just to show size better.  I can only recall seeing one other this size and it was the silver version on Admiral Richard Byrds minis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMCR79 Posted December 15, 2021 Share #419 Posted December 15, 2021 This set I obtained from Robert Wilson a few years ago - The only clue that I have to ID this set is the Society of American Wars of the United States medal (1st medal on the 2nd row) is engraved with the initials "VCP" and a member number of 1215. I conclude that this man was an Officer and a Doctor and a Member of New York Society. If anyone can assist with an ID that would be Great!!

FriarChuck Posted December 16, 2021 Share #423 Posted December 16, 2021 Do you have any info on the society of American Wars. A google search only brought up The society of colonial wars which is also included in one of your other groups. What are some of the other society medals? I have not seen several of them. Beautiful sets! Friar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
