Jack's Son Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share #201 Posted April 30, 2013 M, that is a beautiful medal, the patina is what you would hope for and there is no damage to the enamel. Excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmpmstr Posted May 2, 2013 Share #202 Posted May 2, 2013 Here is a group of miniature medals with the LOM to Lt. Col. Lloyd W. Sterns. The group is in a Spink and Son Ltd. leather case. He was awarded the LOM along with the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus (the highest knightly order of Italy) and the Order of the Crown of Italy. The LOM is engraved with his initials. Lt.Col. Lloyd W. Stearns was Flag Lt. to the Commanding Officer of Allied Control Commission, Admiral Stone, in Italy. Dick I am smitten with this bar...just sensational. I am drawn to anything dealing with Italian orders as well so this is a treat to see. Excellent with the documentation and the case is just the cat's meow.

medalworld Posted August 19, 2013 Share #210 Posted August 19, 2013 A vintage mid to late 1960s, according to LOM guru pal A. Menke, Commander neck badge, awarded to Turkish General Mehmet Ali Keskiner (1906-1989). He joined the army in 1923 and got his fourth star in 1964, retiring a year later. Assuming the vintage is correct, the LOM could have been a retirement award after many years of interaction with US forces. P.S. Posting high quality pictures here was very difficult and time consuming just now. I had to degrade superb high res pics in Photoshop several times just so they would fit here, but to the point where they lost clarity. Is there not a better way, or am I missing something?

kevin h Posted December 27, 2013 Share #216 Posted December 27, 2013 Is there any way to trace a LOM by its serial number? A few months back I picked up #8548 at a local auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
