SammyT Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 I am a militaria collector and these three medals were included in a box lot of military items that I had purchased. I know nothing about these types of art medals and am seeking some assistance with identification, rarity, and value on each of the three medals I have pictured here. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Sammy T. - the first medal appears to be of German chemist Georg Lunge, artist: Hans Frei - the second medal appears to be a WWI battle scene, artist: Marcel Prosper Lordonnois - the third medal is a scene of some sort of castle with the caption "Le Mont St. Hichel" ; artist: unknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 The last medal may be a souvenir -- from le Mont St Michel, a medieval monastery (and now tourist attraction) on the French coast where Normandy becomes Brittany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
