This one's a bit puzzling. Is the order 3-1-2? I ask because the gold colored one in the middle is different from its gold colored neighbor by one blue gem or spot of enamel in the star. Also, aren't silver medals usually 2nd in order of ranking?

Nice awards in any case.

Phillip, I think it's actually 1,2,3 not the "gold" and increasing border ornamentation. Later issues have Roman numerals on the ribbon, these were the earlier issue and thus such confusion arose.
