Hey everyone, I know what medal is this, I did my research online but couldn’t find anything at all about that metal clasp in ribbon. If you have any idea about what this metal clasp means I thank a lot.
War Medal 1939 - 1945 War Medal 1939–1945 - Wikipedia The bar can be seen on this other medal. Medal-Medaille , Orders, decorations and medals of the world for sale online (medal-medaille.com) ''maple leaf clasp denoting service overseas'' Canadian Volunteer Service Medal - Wikipedia Whether it should be worn on the War Medal , I'm not sure.
Actually it s more Canadian than British Canadian Multiple Rotation Bar, Gold 1 Maple Leaf, Reproduction TD
Utku I have doubts that those two items would go together - have been reading this https://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/medals-decorations/details/23 Bars A single oak leaf emblem is worn to signify a Mention-in-Despatches and the silver oak leaf signifying a King's Commendation for Brave Conduct is worn on this medal. There is no bar other than these emblems. There is only mention of oak leaf bars there is nothing about a maple leaf bar on the 1939 - 1945 War Medal Up to you TD
wow! Thanks for your amazing reply! I know sometimes Turkish sellers changes parts of the items and calls them “original” I have seen many times they did put a different ribbon to Soviet medals and calls them original. But I had no idea about this one. Thank you so much. Not gonna buy this medal then, thanks!!
Well - there is nothing stopping you buying it as the medal and ribbon look genuine/original and so does the bar - I'm just saying in my opinion from what I have read they dont belong together TD
Can i please ask you another question? here, there is a 1939-45 star. I found a seller who sells this item for ~22,5$ And says it is %100 original. I found this photo from a review. Can you see the colorful damage on medal? I only saw this kind damage in fake medals. So can you say If this is a fake one or not? You can find the seller in AliExpress, his name is “Coins and Medals” Thank you again sir.
Just by looking at you cant really tell, if it had been subjected to some form of heat then you could end up with a surface looking like that. You would need to handle it and see if it cleans off with some form of cleaner - I will not recommend a type of type of cleaner To be honest its entirely up to you I wouldnt tell you to buy or reject it thats your choice TD
Thanks! If you have free time, can you please answer this question of mine too please? Is this a badge for British WW2 artillery? Internet says it’s for Canadian soldiers. I am trying to create a set from War Medal-Defence Medal and a badge which was used by British soldiers in Britain! (I mean a badge which is not given for operational servies) By the way, thank you so much again for responding all my questions.
Is that a Great War badge with a rotating wheel ? It seems to be a complicated subject with some doubt about which types were official etc. Lot's of research called for !
I do apologize, I couldn’t clearly understand what you meant sir. Is this badge fake? Or is it from WW1?
This one seems to have `CANADA` instead of `UBIQUE` A WWII CANADIAN ROYAL ARTILLERY CAP BADGE in Helmet & cap badges Kyle
Doesn't look fake to me, although I'm not an expert. Fakers tend to reproduce badges with high/higher value, which I would not think applies to RA cap badges as they were produced in their hundreds of thousands.
