This is an exceptional WW1 War Service medal award by the Sons of the American Revolution to a member who served in World War One. This medal is script engraved to John Seward. While a fairly common name i came upon roughly 6-10 John Sewards who served in the US during WW1. The Sons of the American Revolution does habe records and i believe it would be highly like that if you access those you can find out exactly which John Seward it was awarded too.. The Sons of the American Revolution is a society were all members can trace their legacy back to having direct relatives who fought in the revolutionary war/ war of independence. I suspect the resesearch could yield some very interesting history on the Seward family.. This sons of the american revolution ww1 service medal are fairly uncommon and named ones are much more desirable… Medal or all types from this society are highly collected. This is for the medal planchet only no ribbon was present with the medal! Planchet is near mint with a stunning bronze patina! Thanks for looking check out all my ww1 and military collectibles!
