Skipman Posted 28 October , 2011 Share Posted 28 October , 2011 What do you make of this?There is no name on the rim, but A MOPLON is embossed/inscribed on the face. It's thinner than the Victory Medal, and the U is a V.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulsterlad2 Posted 28 October , 2011 Share Posted 28 October , 2011 Many of the Allied nations produced a their own version of the Victory Medal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_Medal_(United_Kingdom) ps The US only had one WW1 medal, The Victory. But they had "Battle" clasps for the ribbon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I_Victory_Medal_(United_States) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Owl Posted 28 October , 2011 Share Posted 28 October , 2011 Thanks again. Any idea of value of a standard medal? Mike Probably around £10-£15 would seem to be a ballpark figure for this medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
