I've run into a bit of a roadblock here. Attempting to take the normal route towards securing Karmen a replacement set of medals earned by her Uncle Eddie (see the thread in Mil History), I ran into a brick wall. Apparently, Karmen is not a 'close enough' relative to fulfill the criteria for the reissuance of medals, even though there are none closer. So it's now up to you and me to find them on the open market.

I will pay a reasonable price, especially if the ones we find are in good shape with good ribbons. Just let me know, email or PM is fine, thanks. The medals we require are the following:

1939-45 Star
France and Germany Star
Defence Medal
Canadian Volunteer Service Medal, with Clasp
War Medal (1939-45)

Once we have acquired them, we'll then see just how good Frank Misztal's cleaning and mounting service really is...

Thanks a lot. keep me posted.

Geoff/Yappy:

I have the "standard six pack" of WWII medals, the difference being that this rack has the Italy Star.

They were of my step-father, with whom I never got along, and they have no personal relevance to me.

They are replacements, since the usual Regimental Number and Name are not embossed on the outer rim.

Medals are tarnished, but authentic with King's crown, ribbons are somewhat faded. I may have some ribbons around here, but Frank Misztal can take care of the rest of the restoration.

They're yours for the asking.

Any shipping, cleanup etc will, of course, be your collective responsibility.

Yes/No?
