CHASEUSA11B Posted February 11, 2014 Share #1 Posted February 11, 2014 I recently picked this up on eBay and thought it might be of interest to some. It is a convention badge from a 1946 Military Order Of The Purple Heart convention in Wisconsin. It is surprisingly well made and similar to a real Purple Heart....

Jack's Son Posted February 11, 2014 Share #3 Posted February 11, 2014 The Order is alive and well, perhaps just not as popular as at one time. I believe it still is going strong in Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinBeyer Posted February 13, 2014 Share #7 Posted February 13, 2014 This is the only MOPH convention badge that I have ever seen. I considered bidding on that auction, but having never come across another, I'd go crazy trying to find more! Good find! Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
