My US Medal Collection

**Javelin4life** · 06-12-2011, 02:07 AM

Hello everyone,

I'm a very new member to this forum, and I'm looking forward to becoming an experienced member of this community. I'm a relatively new "serious" collector, and I have amassed a small, yet presentable collection in the past 11 months. My US medals ages range from the Spanish American War to current day, and I also have medals from other countries as well. Not all of my medals are posted, as my camera has been in the shop and I have recently acquired new medals, some of which are the 1870-71 Franco Prussian medal, the Italian Fascist medal given by Mussolini to German forces, and an Order of the Sacred Treasure, 8th class. The pictures I'll post are from a couple of months ago, but I hope to get new pictures up as soon as possible so you can see what I have as of today. Hope you all enjoy, and opinions are always welcome
