Combat Merits
Hi there,
This is my first medal, I have seen other pictures on this site and on E bay and there is one small thing different from the others... is that small pin on the rifle, it is not a scratch. what do you think? |

Hi
It looks like a scratch, or a strike of some kind. It is NOT a variation of the medal. As a new collector, try to get a GOOD referense book, like Paul McDaniel's book. See the reference materials section.

Doesn't look like anything so I doubt it was applied intentionally. Sometimes we see rare specimens where engraving is present. But I've only seen an officers name or an unusual serial numbering of some sort. Never on the front though. The closest thing this little mark resembles is a makers mark, but we've only seen those on the reverse. My opinion, a clean scratch.
