WWI WW1 British Distinguished Conduct Medal US MADE as given to US Soldiers RARE

WWI WW1 British Distinguished Conduct Medal US MADE as given to US Soldiers RARE

This is a very odd piece, it is a full size 36mm British DCM, showing great age and toning. That’s where the easy part ends. It is gorgeous BUT totally NOT the British version of this medal, a couple thousand of which were awarded to US soldiers in France. High grade, about a perfect planchette, but the usual suspension is not present, and never has been. Unnamed on edge, as was the case with the Brit ones that were given in France. The top, where the usual British clamp and pin suspension would be attached is blank, no rim, etc, and I have no idea if this is a British medal that has never had the suspension part fitted, or if it’s repaired, or what. The medal does NOT swivel. And the suspension is not the right design used by the UK. I believe this is a US made copy of the British medal made for a US soldier who got the award but not the medal. Otherwise, I cannot find any sense in it. Not a modern fake, not an issued British medal either. I guarantee it to be old, and silver, high quality, IE not a sand cast piece, etc. Beyond that, it has stumped me. Carries a privately made split brooch open catch pin at top. Ribbon is right, with a slight bit of fraying at the top. S ee image and title for any info, and ask any questions you may have! Items are shown FRONT and BACK where applicable and possible!

British US Canadian Hessian Helmet Cover WW1 (relic medal tunic dogtag award) #5

It was hard enough to find one, then all these come along at once. THIS IS FOR THE HESSIAN COVER ONLY! The helmet has been removed and it still retains some of the helmet shape as its been on there for so long. I have removed the majority of cobwebs and dust, but don’t expect it to be immaculate, because these all have flaws, faults as they are old, not greatly stored and were made rather haphazardly by troops, rather than machined out perfectly in a factory. However, still hard to find. The last few photos show the container of them that I carried back to the car. Remember this is for one helmet cover only, no helmet, just the cover that is shown in the first 7 photos.
