This is truly an antique and very special. It is a Bronze Medal awarded to chaplains of the Army and Navy after World War 1. It was designed by Laura G Fraser, who is a famous artist in her own right, but also the wife of James E. Fraser, who designed the Indian head nickel. I believe they were issued/created somewhere around 1920. Any reasonable offers will be considered. Also, 20% of the sale will go to the K9s for Warriors foundation.
