WWI French Croix de Guerre with Fourragere Braid for Distinction. M 130. - M 130
The Croix de Guerre (French: (Cross of War) is a military decoration of France. It was first created in 1915 and consists of a square-cross medal on two crossed swords, hanging from a ribbon with various degree pins. The decoration was first awarded during World War I, again in World War II, and in other conflicts; the croix de guerre des théâtres d'opérations extérieures ("cross of war for external theatres of operations") was established in 1921 for these. The Croix de Guerre was also commonly bestowed on foreign military forces allied to France. The Croix de Guerre may be awarded either as an individual award or as a unit award to those soldiers who distinguish themselves by acts of heroism involving combat with the enemy. The medal is awarded to those who have been "mentioned in dispatches", meaning a heroic deed or deeds were performed meriting a citation from an individual's headquarters unit. The unit award of the Croix de Guerre with palm was issued to military units whose members performed heroic deeds in combat and were subsequently recognized by headquarters. In very good condition with Fourragere intact. The price includes UK delivery. M 130.

*Scarce* Royal Observer Corps Long Service Medal and Ribbon. M 127. - M 127
Prior to World War II, Observer Corps personnel were classed as Special Constables, retained by local constabularies, and qualified for the Special Constabulary Long Service Medal following nine years of continuous service. This qualification ceased in August 1939 when RAF Fighter Command assumed sole responsibility for the ROC. However, service as a Special Constable on observer duties prior to August 1939 counted towards the ROC Medal, provided it had not already been reflected in an award of the Special Constabulary Long Service Medal. This is a scarce Royal Observer Corps Medal which was awarded for 12 years satisfactory service for part time officers and observers and for 24 years for full time members. The medal was instituted on the 31st of January 1950 by George VI but it was not awarded until 1953 after the accession of Elizabeth II. The medal carries the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and an Elizabethan coast watcher with a torch and signal fires on hilltops on the reverse. The medal hangs from a suspender of an eagle with outstretched wings. The rim is engraved with the recipient’s name Observer E. Higginbotham. This is an attractive and scarce medal, and the price includes UK delivery. M 127.

The British War Medal is a campaign medal of the United Kingdom which was awarded to officers and men and women of British and Imperial forces for service in the First World War. Two versions of the medal were produced. About 6.5 million were struck in silver and 110,000 in bronze, the latter awarded to, among others, the Chinese, Maltese and Indian Labour Corps. The Victory Medal (also called the Inter-Allied Victory Medal) is a United Kingdom and British Empire First World War campaign medal. The award of a common allied campaign medal was recommended by an inter-allied committee in March 1919. Each allied nation would design a 'Victory Medal' for award to their own nationals, all issues having certain common features, including a winged figure of victory on the obverse and the same ribbon. Fourteen countries finally awarded the medal. Both medals inscribed with the soldiers name and rank. The ribbons and clasps are in very good order. The price includes UK delivery. BA 450.

Original German Clasp (Spange) to the Iron Cross Class 1 1939 Bar. N 188. - N 188
The Clasp to the Iron Cross (Spange zum Eisernen Kreuz) is a white metal medal clasp displayed on the uniforms of German Wehrmacht personnel who had been awarded the Iron Cross in World War I, and who again qualified for the decoration in World War II. A holder of the 1914 Iron Cross could qualify for the same grade of the 1939 Iron Cross. To permit the two awards to be worn together, a "1939 Clasp" (Spange) was established to be worn with the original 1914 Iron Cross. It depicts a national eagle clutching an oak leaf wreath surrounding a swastika above a trapezoid bearing the year 1939. For the Second Class, the clasp was attached to the ribbon of the 1914 Iron Cross, either on a ribbon bar, or when the ribbon was worn through a tunic button hole. For the First Class, a larger differently proportioned clasp was pinned directly on the upper breast pocket above the Iron Cross 1st class (1914) of the wearer. This pin-back clasp was usually awarded in a presentation case. See 67 (D.014) of Combat Medals of the Third Reich by Christopher Ailsby for reference. In excellent condition, the clasp and pin are intact. The price includes UK delivery. N 188.

The medal's statute was amended on July 18, 1980 by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR T70; 2523-X. The Medal ‘For the Defence of Stalingrad’ was awarded to all participants in the defence of Stalingrad—soldiers of the Red Army, Navy and troops of the NKVD, as well as persons from the civilian population who took part in the defence of Stalingrad during its siege by Axis forces.
