Name on box no info or research came together with victory medal in box with single bar defense sector.
Very nice original WW1 US Victory Medal… This is an excellent example w just the right amount if wear and patina. It has a rare 2 bar combination of Meuse Argonne & Defense Sector.. Finding exact medal combinations can be a real challenge when it comes to original examples.. Medal looks much better in hand the images didn’t contrast well. Researching yields this combination was awarded too only a few divisions. The 6th Infantry Division, 29th Infantry Division, 81st Infantry Division, 88th Infantry Division & the 92nd Infantry Division…. It was also awarded too the 371st & 372nd Infantry Regiments of the 93rd ID…. Remeber later replacements would not have been entitled to both clasps as clasps were only awarded if service In country was the duration of the time the division spent there! The medal itself is excellent shape but just a touch salty. The ribbon shows wear and minor fading but is solid the medal has areas of the original gold finish poking through and the rest a pleasing bronze color. The back of the brooch is black I’m not sure why that was done or what maker did that possibly just what it was displayed on I’m unsure…. An excellent and been there clearly awarded example of this rare bar combination. Please check out my other WW1 victory medals & all my militaria and antiques for sale!

ORIGINAL WORLD WAR I UNITED STATES ARMY VICTORY MEDAL, SILVER CITATION STAR, MEUSE ARGONNE & DEFENSIVE SECTOR BARS, W/ FULL WRAP BROOCH. RIBBON DRAPE TESTED UV NEGATIVE AS SHOWN IN PHOTO #12. The World War I Victory Medal is a service medal of the United States military which was first created in 1919, designed by James Earle Fraser. The medal was originally intended to be created due to an act of the United States Congress, however the bill authorizing the medal never passed, leaving the service departments to create the award through general orders. The United States Army published orders authorizing the World War I Victory Medal in April 1919 and the U. Navy followed in June of that same year. Known until 1947 simply as the Victory Medal, the World War I Victory Medal was awarded to any member of the U. Military who had served in the armed forces between the following dates in the following locations. 6 April 1917 to 11 November 1918 for any military service. 12 November 1918, to 5 August 1919 for service in European Russia. 23 November 1918, to 1 April 1920 for service with the American Expeditionary Force Siberia. The front of the bronze medal features a winged Victory holding a shield and sword on the front. The back of the bronze medal features “The Great War For Civilization” in all capital letters curved along the top of the medal. Curved along the bottom of the back of the medal are six stars, three on either side of the center column of seven staffs wrapped in a cord. The top of the staff has a round ball on top and is winged on the side. The staff is on top of a shield that says “U” on the left side of the staff and “S” on the right side of the staff. On left side of the staff it lists one World War I Allied country per line: France, Italy, Serbia, Japan, Montenegro, Russia, and Greece.
