Re: Veterans on parade! (BM's, that is...)
I don't yet have a single BM and you have over a hundred. No fair! :(

STUNNING!
Simply stunning. :thumbsup In an effort to say something other than stunning I'd add what a wonderful way to see the subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) variations in ribbon color variations among other things. And, I'd note that about 14% have their ribbons mounted in the reverse direction. Nice to be able to quantify that. :cool: How many are/were T1s that got switched to 5 sided suspensions?

In that photo there are two T1V3's that have their suspensions, one T1V2 that is suspensionless (a MEGA-lucky find), and one that might be a T1V3 (it's in that end range, but I doubt it's T1). That's out of nearly 170 found so far. In short, my experience so far has been that the BM T1's just don't often show up that way.
CSM T1's, on the other hand, do. So far I've found what I am pretty sure are a total of ten T1 CSM's that were missing their suspensions or were on 5-sided suspensions. Of those, nine were T1V3's and one of them was a T1V2 (another very lucky find). Those ten T1 CSM's came from just over 110 CSM's found so far. Where I get this stuff, sellers often don't understand serial numbers. That's why those T1V3's can slip through fairly easily. It's only when they see the "No." that they might catch it, and even then I've seen that some don't realize the true premium. I've also stumbled on two T2V1 VL's (one with completely missing "ear") and one T2V1 DL in much the same way. There's another 20+ that don't appear in the photo because they are either bagged away with their docs, bagged away as pairs bought together (just so I don't lose track until I can research), or bagged away as bought on suspensions with other stuff (which, alas, often prove to be false sets). I go hunting every Saturday morning, and do the Blackbirding every Saturday afternoon! It's all there, entered a little bit at time I got the stuff, except for some MG's. As Desantnik and I can both tell you, the database can work! |

Bravery medal serial number
Hi all,
Could this number be indicating a re-issue? Or is this type of writing common in the 700k region. Thanks in advance:)
