Discovered in an estate sale in Richmond, Va. This very rare medal was awarded by The Army & Navy Cub to Colonel Walter Metcalf, an officer in World War I. I’ve been unable to find any other example of a medal ever awarded by The Army & Navy Club. The relief on the medallion depicts two World War I soldiers in Army and Navy uniforms and is dedicated “to General Officers and Flag Officers” “1920″. The medal has been kept in very good condition, as shown. The Army & Navy Club was founded in 1885 as an exclusive, private club in the heart of the nation’s capital. It was established as a meeting place for military officers to share their stories, ideas and experiences with each other, and over the years, it has expanded, continuing to be very exclusive and prestigious. Today the Army and Navy Club is a Five Star Platinum Club that counts among its members some of America’s top Admirals and Generals, members of Congress and public servants. The medal was designed and made by the firm of Dieges & Clust, founded in 1898 in New York. Dieges & Clust is known for high quality and fine design and the company produced many medals including New York’s Spanish-American War Medal, the 1904 Olympic Medal, and the Medal of Honour. They also made baseball’s first ever Most Valuable Player Award and the first ever Heisman Trophy as well as numerous other sports related rings, awards and trophies.

UNITED STATES ARMY CERTIFICATE OF MERIT MEDAL. The Certificate of Merit Medal was a military decoration of the United States Army that was issued between the years of 1905 and 1918. The Certificate of Merit Medal replaced the much older Certificate of Merit which was authorized by the United States Congress on March 3, 1847. In 1905, a medal was created for those holding a Certificate of Merit and called the Certificate of Merit Medal. This medal was authorized for wear on a United States military uniform. It was always worn following the Medal of Honor, before all campaign medals. The first recipient of the Certificate of Merit Medal was First Lieutenant William B. Baker, who was presented medal No. 1 on 30 December 1907. Baker had received an original Certificate of Merit as a Corporal during the Spanish-American War on 13 August 1898. The last act recognized by a Certificate of Merit was May 1918, when Corporal Paul Scaletta made a water rescue of soldiers in dangerous surf conditions at Ocean Beach, California. The last soldier to be awarded the Certificate of Merit Medal was George Arrington for his service while a Private with the 24th Infantry Regiment in 1889. He was awarded medal No. 361 and subsequently converted it to a Distinguished Service Cross. Do not miss it! Certificate of Merit Medal. +Made in USA Medal Case. Diameter of the Medal: about 33mm.
