LACKIE14 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 yes i think the australian is a bad one, i think someone has picked the name from the list of service records for australian servicemen and stamped accordingly. i think the tell tale sign was the poor quality of the naming. have since discovered that the south african medal appears to have been given to nurses etc. sod's law couldn't out find much about these medals have now come across one in its original box, supender and everything appears to be exactly the same. many thanks for checking for me anyway kenny much appreciated, see you saturday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
