Robbo Posted April 6, 2010 Share #1 Posted April 6, 2010 Hi all. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a time frame and maybe place of manufacture for this medal. The brooch looks like a cheaply made clutch back affair and the device says 1960. Cheers. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Marine Posted April 6, 2010 Share #2 Posted April 6, 2010 To me it looks like an original 60's RVN made piece. It's a nice medal. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chariot Whiskey Posted April 6, 2010 Share #4 Posted April 6, 2010 Back when I was there in the Navy (1966-7) this medal was awarded after, I think, six months in Vietnam waters- but the medal itself was never issued. You had to buy it yourself if you wanted to have one. They were all pretty cheaply made. The one I have has had the little fire in the center of the map of Vietnam fall out. Symbolic?
