Everything! Glory is priceless!" Sir E. B. Lytton, Bart. The nature of man is to demand preferences and distinction. It is uncertain who first instituted the custom of granting medals to individuals for acts of bravery or for military services. Scipio Aemilius is said to have bestowed wreaths of roses upon his men of the eleventh Legion at Carthage in 146 B. C., and the Chinese are reported to have issued awards during the Han Dynasty in the year 10 A. D., though no de- scription thereof is given. Tancred says there used to be in the National Coin Collection of France, a gold medal of the Roman Emperor Tetricus, with loops at- tached, which made it appear as if it was an ornament to wear. Perhaps the Donum Militare, and bestowed for distinguished services. We do know that Queen Elizabeth granted a jewelled star and badge to Sir Francis Drake after his famous globe encircling voy- age (1577-1579), and Tancred says these precious relics were at the Drake family homestead, "Nutwell * Address delivered before the Society, January 10, 1927 and at the meeting of The Numismatic and Antiquarian Society February 15, 1926.

  • Copies of Vietnamese Medals

    Copies of Vietnamese Medals

    Copies of Vietnamese Medals John Sylvester Most of the medals of the Republic of Vietnam manu- factured locally were somewhat shoddy. American ser- vicemen awarded medals by the Army of the Republic of Vietnam often wanted better made ones to match their United States awards. Wolfe-Brown and other Ameri- can companies over the years have produced medals of the Republic of Vietnam distinguished mainly by their better quality and their ribbon with the American bound edges. Japanese companies produced some Vietnamese, as well as American, medals to be sold mainly in the Ship’s Service Stores for sets to be worn by sailors and Marines for dress ceremonies. The Vietnam Campaign Medal was also made elsewhere in Asia for servicemen of our Allies in Vietnam. Some of the early Vietnamese medals, notably the National Order, were handsomely produced in France. The American manufacturers also, of course, supply Viet- namese medals for the collector market. One example is the rare Vietnamese Air Force Northern Expeditionary Figure 7: Fake Gold Star Medal with short arms. Medal, almost all of the examples on the market being the American made copies. National Orders, made both here and now again in Saigon, are quite similar to the originals. The expensive Star of the National Order is currently being manufactured in Thailand for sale as a copy to collectors. It is well made and very close to the original. Most of the medals of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam are plentiful on the market both here and in Vietnam. Hanoi tailor shops still sell them cheaply to Peoples Army of Vietnam recipients.
