mjw Posted August 17, 2025 #1 Posted August 17, 2025 Hello Everyone. I would appreciate any opinions on the naming on an Air Medal. It appears to be named to a Lady recipient. I assume it may be a fairly modern example although the brooch fitting seems earlier? Any help or advice greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Malcolm. IMG_0783.heic IMG_0781.heic

mjw Posted August 17, 2025 Author #4 Posted August 17, 2025 Hello Blacksmith. All I can say is “thank you”. I greatly appreciate your help. I was not expecting anything positive to my posting. Could prove an interesting award. Just hoping that the naming style is contemporary. once again, many thanks for your kind assistance. Would never have found that information myself. kind regards, Malcolm.
KASTAUFFER Posted September 22, 2025 #5 Posted September 22, 2025 I would say the engraving is very recent, Kurt
CinamonToastCrunch Posted September 22, 2025 #6 Posted September 22, 2025 Not an official engraving done post-ww2. Easily could've been done yesterday due to rarity I was exercise caution without any other provenance.
CinamonToastCrunch Posted September 22, 2025 #7 Posted September 22, 2025 She is briefly mentioned attending a bridal shower in Tacoma, Washington in 1948 as a Lieutenant. Other than the flight nurse graduate clipping in 1946 can't find any information on her.
mjw Posted September 23, 2025 Author #8 Posted September 23, 2025 Thanks everyone. It cost little money, so nothing lost. It came with a couple of other items to her. When I get a moment I will post them. kind regards, Malcolm.
