Hi MedalBook. I am a student looking at industry economics in niche areas and I decided to look at medals because my grandpa has some. Can anyone suggest some items I could look at over the past 30 years that have fluctuated in value greatly? Thanks, Kat

The Iron Division Commemorative Medal shown here is a fake. A real one is worth about 500 EUROS as of Feb. 2022

How can you tell?

The silver finish is wrong. The details, especially in the teeth are weak, which is a common feature of fakes. The skull is too flat and is the wrong shape. This medal never had a ball suspension. I own an original with its award document and if mine was compared to this, the quality differences would become obvious.The price for originals has now increased to about 600 EUROS.

Can anyone confirm, as to why clasps were awarded in WWII instead of the actual Star when the recipient had been awarded a total of less than the official 5 Star total, I suspect this is something that just applies to flyers & sailors, where they flew over or sailed into enemy waters without actually having "boots on the ground", if my idea is correct can anyone tell me where I would find the written authority for such an orderterroresy

For some reason the website seems to be having issues. I would like to purchase the 1st Motor Machine Gun Brigade cap badge that is listed.

Hi @Hussar, MedalBook is a research database. If the badge you're referring to is in the database, we're not offering it for sale. If it is in MedalMarket, simply message the seller by pressing the "Inquire About This Item" button. Hope this helps!

Pierrefonds commented on Decoration of Bordeaux, Gold Medal

Not really sure with the estimated price ! Moreover this medal was not given to the citizens of Bordeaux, but to the clandestine royal guard which was organized against french empire before its fall. A few officials of Bordeaux and british army were also honoured. Nevertheless, only 1300 were distributed, and most of these were destructed during the revolutionnary days of 1830. Experts assess only 100/200 could remain. If you want one in gold and normal-sized (32x21mm), the value in french auction rooms is between 2000 and 3000$. Thanks for this excellent website, and will be happy to share a photo of my « décoration du brassard de Bordeaux » if you need one to illustrate the page of this really really rare medal.
