Robbo Posted August 13, 2022 Share #1 Posted August 13, 2022 I've had this Purple Heart and Air Medal pair for about 10 years and will hopefully be selling it soon. The Purple Heart has what I believe to be pantograph government engraving and the Air Medal appears to be hand engraved but I'm not sure about it. Can anyone offer some opinions on the engraving and the case (Is it late/post war?) The recipient was a 554th BS 386th BG Medium flying an A26-C Douglas Invader. Many thanks. Rob.

KASTAUFFER Posted August 13, 2022 Share #2 Posted August 13, 2022 Its official stamped engraving from the 1945 time period. The AM is hand engraved. The OLCs appear to be properly affixed. I like both the PH and the AM. Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 13, 2022 Share #3 Posted August 13, 2022 Yes, both the Air Medal engraving and the stamped named on the Purple Heart are just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
