Thank you for stopping to view my posting and please be certain to look over my other medals, artifacts and unique items being offered.  If there is something you are looking for, please feel free to ask.
Before I begin
, you need to be aware that:
IT HAS BEEN MY EXPERIENCE THAT WHEN A BID IS ENTERED, THE "MAKE AN OFFER" OPTION IS REMOVED (by eBay rules, not mine).  Please keep this in mind if you are 'watching' to place an offer later.  Once a bid is entered, you now have to compete with another interested party.  If you are thinking of making an offer, please allow 48 hours for me to receive and consider your offer.  I try to check my message status every day but that is not always possible.
Also, if you are interested in only one medal, please take a look at my other items up for auction before contacting me with your offer indicating which medal you have an interest in and what your offer is.
Each of the medals being offered are of vintage pre-1975 manufacture.
Please looking closely at the photo’s to notice the detail.  The conditions of each vary and you need to know these are not in the most pristine of condition.  Feel free to ask questions.
Above all else, these are great examples of the Republic of Vietnam's history.
All of the items I am offering, in this auction and other auctions, are from my father's possessions (collection, if you will, but my father held onto these medals more as reminders of people / friends he met during his service / dedication rather as a collector).
My father's daytime 'occupation' at the time was as an instructor teaching tailoring to Vietnamese students.  To substantiate his presence in Vietnam, he ran a small tailoring shop catering to military personnel.
At times he was asked to replace medals or the suspension ribbon from which they hung.  It appears some of these medals were replaced in their entirety but my father held onto this medal all these years as a token remembrance of the soldier who asked for a replacement.  Strange as it seems, dad always said when he held the various medals he brought back, he could remember the face but not always the names.
Unfortunately, during war time, quite a few customers did not come back to pick up their order.  Some of the other medals I am offering show this distinction by their quality and condition.
In any event, these are unique pieces of history.
Please review the pictures. I've done my best to describe this auction but the pictures are the best in showing what you are bidding on.  If you have questions, please ask.
If you have another moment, please take a moment and examine the other items being offered.
Some of the other medals being offered in my other auctions, along with many from the Republic of Vietnam (RVN),  include those of French origin and were the property (not sure if I should consider them "property" considering a soldier was properly awarded such distinctions) of a French soldier / officer while stationed in colonial Vietnam / Indochine / Indochina.   Having checked the period, some of those French Medals reach back to WW II.
Sincerely,
