Mr.Jerry Posted August 30, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 30, 2020 Hi Guys & gals- I was fortunate enough to save this one from a jewelry scrapper today. Sadly for me gold is at an all time high, but it is what it is, and maybe the history will help me out. So if anyone would care to to share any info on #2925 I would appreciate it! Thanks!

skypilot6670 Posted August 30, 2020 Share #2 Posted August 30, 2020 Hey Mr. Jerry. “Union Blue , history of the military order of the loyal legion “ this book has an alphabetical list of the medals . I don’t have a copy , but I see several available on the web. I hope someone here can help you. That’s a great save , congrats Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
