There is a photo of Pershing's medal in the reference thread, but apparently that is locked, so I am placing this photo from the National Museum of American History (Smithsonian) here. Pershing's medals are not on display. As mentioned in the reference thread, his medal is one of the special U.S.M. numbered Victory Medals (U.S.M. 5). In the only picture I have run across in which Pershing was wearing the Victory Medal, the medal appears to only have one bar. So, I doubt that other than perhaps when it was presented, he probably never wore this medal.
