Item Description
Original Item: Only Set Available. This is a lovely US WWI Victory Medal lot which features three different examples of Navy Victory medals with clasps.
The medals themselves are in good condition but do exhibit tarnishing. The ribbons are worn but that wear accentuates the authenticity of the awards.
The Battle Clasps Featured Are:
• Mine Sweeping - This example has a scarce private purchase clasp, which many men of the Navy had to purchase as the government hadn’t authorized Naval clasps yet.
• Asiatic - For service on any vessel which made a Siberian port during such service from 06 April 1917 to 11 Nov. 1918, or any combatant ship in a Siberian port not less than 10 days from 12 Nov. 1918 to 30 March 1920. (RARE - ONLY 1,000 AWARDED)
• Patrol - For service on the high seas on such duty east of the 37th meridian and north of the Equator, between 06 Apr 1917 and 11 Nov. 1918, and on the high seas of the Atlantic Ocean north of the Equator between 25 May 1918 and 11 Nov 1918.
The World War I Victory Medal (known prior to establishment of the World War II Victory Medal in 1945 simply as the Victory Medal) was a United States service medal designed by James Earle Fraser of New York City under the direction of the Commission of Fine Arts.
