Red Devil Posted November 16, 2012 #126 Posted November 16, 2012 Major General Wilson. Incredible grouping!
firefighter Posted January 28, 2013 #129 Posted January 28, 2013 back pic. Look at the pin, and you can see Gemsco right behind it. Have you ever seen a mini MOH that has 'THE CONGRESS TO' on the back?
Brig Posted January 28, 2013 #130 Posted January 28, 2013 Doubtful, since the mini isn't officially authorized
firefighter Posted January 28, 2013 #131 Posted January 28, 2013 Doubtful, since the mini isn't officially authorized So can you own a mini MOH? I have seen one that was marked like that on the back.Looked to be WW1 era.
Brig Posted January 28, 2013 #132 Posted January 28, 2013 Own? Yes. Buy, sell, trade? Doubtful, since people could still wear them and claim it
Herman v Posted January 28, 2013 #133 Posted January 28, 2013 BG Steve Chappius of Batle of the Bulge fame. Here is his dress mess and mini medals. 4starchris Are you sure about Chappuis? For his actions in Ops Market Garden he earned my countries highest bravery award,, the Militaire Willemsorde 4th class. In this group i see an Officer in the Order of Oranje nassau, which is far more common and not connected to bravery in the field. Herman
Lano Posted February 10, 2013 #134 Posted February 10, 2013 My first post and first miniature medal bar. I aquired it several years ago in Washington State. Unknown recipiant. One of the larger ones I've ever seen. Hard to find WW1 bars these days. Hope you enjoy.
Brig Posted February 10, 2013 #135 Posted February 10, 2013 that's a beauty! Shouldn't be too hard to track down with all those uncommon ones on the end
KurtA Posted February 10, 2013 #136 Posted February 10, 2013 My first post and first miniature medal bar. I aquired it several years ago in Washington State. Unknown recipiant. One of the larger ones I've ever seen. Hard to find WW1 bars these days. Hope you enjoy. Great bar! Probably worn by an Army Reserve Colonel. (Total guess on that.) To begin to even think about IDing him, you'd need to know what state he was from to have a remote chance. However, I don't see any state medals on there. In any case, that is a really nice group of miniatures.

KurtA Posted February 10, 2013 #138 Posted February 10, 2013 Thanks for all the replys!. Third medal from right is Washington National Guard. There you go. You could get lucky with the right photo in a Washington Nat'l Guard unit history (if such a thing exists). Possibly 1950's?
JDK Posted February 10, 2013 #139 Posted February 10, 2013 From a B-17 pilots group. Not sure how long the Major was in after WW2? JD
CHASEUSA11B Posted February 13, 2013 #140 Posted February 13, 2013 Hello everyone, here is a Coast Guard mini rack I found at a swap meet. It is not ID'd but I like it as it is one of the few Coast Guard items I own.
CHASEUSA11B Posted February 13, 2013 #143 Posted February 13, 2013 And another swap meet find---a two piece set with Japan bar on the occupation medal.
