Ordering Replacement Medals Question

Here are his medals

from right to left: WWII Victory Medal + Ribbon, European African Middle Eastern campaign medal with 3 bronze service stars + Ribbon, Bronze Star + Ribbon + collar pin, Good Conduct medal + Ribbon, American Campaign Medal + Ribbon, his original dog tag (not sure how i could clean this actually without damaging it, never had to clean anything that old), 2 pins im guessing for his collar one says U.S. the other is the medical symbol/logo. (both of these are also originals) And his Lapel Pin.

I got finally out of my storage unit his original medals i had, and i only had 2 good conduct medals, and his euro african mid east medal with attachments, none of the others, though i had the 2 pins the dog tag and his original lapel pin.

Now i just need to buy a nice display case for everything, i plan to buy an extra set of the two pins, i dont put the originals in a display case

 

Those are awesome!

 

How do you get the British medals from the RAF service in WW2 ? What is the UK version of the 180 and 214 forms ???

 

I will look through my things today..>I'm almost positive I have both of those pins...I'd be happy to mail 'em to you, as you have a use for them. They made need a little cleaning up, but at least you'd still have originals in your display case. Send me a PM if you are interested!!

 

I did something similar for my grandfather. I'm still waiting on his service record and replacement medals. I actually ordered all his medals, before I knew how to request them from the ARMY. I got the display case from usmedals.com

Beautiful job, ghertz! I really like the phonto in there. Adds a great personal touch.

 

ghertz thats a real beautiful peice of work you got there, did you get it professionally mounted, or did you do it all yourself

 

that looks great LRusso216!

Fgrun83, I ordered the case but did all the mounting myself.

 

Any other great displays out there? I keep telling myself that I'll make one someday, but my stuff didn't belong to anyone I'm related to (Or any one person in fact) but I have enough to make a heckuva display case!

 

Luke, i think you should make a display case, maybe a general one, showing off the medals for army, or navy etc.

I would also love to see some other members displays they have made.

 

I thought about it...I have a pretty awesome collection of American awards. Have 4 Silver Stars, 3 Bronze Stars with Valor V's, 6 Meritorious Bronze Stars, 1 Purple Heart, Several WWII Victory, Campaign medals for Europe and Pacific, German Occupation, and currently have 14 Combat Infantry Badges. I'd need a decent sized frame.

 

Def. Sounds like you would need a bigger size., but i think it would be really nice.
