Adam R Posted September 3, 2017 Share #9 Posted September 3, 2017 Here's another example of the medal shown above. I suspect that the vendor offered to name it and apply a gilt finish for an additional fee. Andrews served on the USS Luzon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam R Posted September 3, 2017 Share #10 Posted September 3, 2017 Here's a different version of the medal that's specific to the USS Luzon. I was looking for this version for many years and was finally able to grab this one on eBay recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanemono Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share #13 Posted September 3, 2017 That is a great and very rare medal Adam. The Yangtze Barrier medal is rare in itself but the USS Luzon is super rare. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
