Gentlemen,Please forgive my rant.There are many Honest dealers around but my experiences with medals and badges has been Horrible.Anyone can make an honest mistake however,someone who passes a deliberate fake to recoup their money at the expense of a fellow collector or newbie to that collecting niche, is a piece of crap.It is a shame... (Shame on me, for not educating myself and trusting the "Mentor".Buy the books first!..Just a warning to be vigilant.

There are great folks on this forum who freely share their information. I am grateful for all who strive to offer their knowledge so freely and contribute to this wonderful endeavor,I hope together we can all continue to learn and help one-another
in our pursuit of history.This post in no way has any opinion as to the authenticity of the piece up for discussion,but is just my way of saying "Do your homework!" If you don't know..ASK!That is why the forum is here.Thanks for letting me "Vent"
HAPPY COLLECTING!
