SailorTzipi Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hey guys, What is meant by an Unofficial Croix De Guerre? I read they were made by the British, but why would the British make French Medals?? Does this make them fakes?? There is a big difference in the appearance of the Officials and Unofficials. Thanks, Tzipi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Hi Tzipi , the unofficial medals were made for the French Government in exile by J.R. Gaunt & Co of London. These were awarded to the Free French Forces and should be regarded as original items.The official French made medal was dated 1939 , the London made unofficial medals come with different dates on the back and some had no dated at all. Hope this helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
