hannibal247bc Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I am very new here, and I can see there hasn't been much on this topic for a while, but I also have one of these medals. Is this medal of any value monetarily or just historically? Any advice would be great Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
