crzy3by Valued Member Philippines 156 Posts	Posted 08/08/2007 08:29 am Hello guys, I came across this token/medal but I really dont know what it is or where it came from as there is no country incribed. I am sorry as I cannot provide yet a picture of it.. I would just describe it the best way I can.. On the obverse side or reverse side is a logo of the naval special warfare and inscribe on the periphery is "NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE UNIT ONE" On the other side, is a Seal with a knife on its mouth, and he's with some kind of animal (i don't know what it is) but he's smoking and has a (looks like a..) firecracker on his hand. Inscribe on the periphery is " THE ONLY EASY DAY WAS YESTERDAY SBU-SEAL-SDV*" with a "HOO YAH" written just above the word SEAL. Hope somebody can help me.. Thanks.. Report this Post to the Staff

And under the eagle is not the rectangle that you see on the pic but the ribbon you see on the 2nd picture. On the 2nd picture is the same seal that I've describe from my previous post, written above it is THE ONLY EASY DAY WAS YESTERDAY BUT instead of a ribbon, a SBU-SEAL-SDV is inscribed on it.. I don't know if I make sense but I've searched through different search engines but can't find anything that would match to what I have.. You think this (my medal) is FAKE?

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 08/08/2007 12:57 pm If you do an internet search using Navy Seal Challenge coin you will find several different styles, e-bay also has a number of different ones listed. The unit probably had these made to give to it's members. There is a place for an inscription to be added. Report this Post to the Staff
