Reuniting Broken Medal Groups

[Military Engineer]

Looking for a Medal for Military Order of the Carabao #753. This was for Major Harry H. Bandholtz (22nd Infantry). I have the rest of his medals and orders. I also have his certificate for the Military Order of the Carabao, just missing the medal.

[JBFloyd]

I am looking for medals that formally belonged to COL JOHN J. CHRISTY. I know his engraved Bronze Star along with a few other of his medals are out there somewhere.

 

I just acquired Col Christy's DSM (slot brooch, machine-engraved "John/J./Christy" in vertical format). Available at $450.

 

Regards,

Hello Guy's,

If anyone has ANY information regarding the following medals, PLEASE contact me at: [email protected].

THANK YOU
