KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 04/14/2008 02:27 am What I find interesting is how the reverse says "silver medal", yet this looks more bronze to me--is that patina? And I just gotta say...Pacific NW natives don't remotely look like the guy obviously styled after a plains warrior. And it's usually a bit chilly to canoe bareback through the straights. I do like this medal...it really captures the style of the period. Report this Post to the Staff
CCya Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 04/15/2008 12:46 am The Gold medal is made of the same composition as the silver. Reckon the Comission was on a budget. Report this Post to the Staff
halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 04/15/2008 12:55 am Would these medals have been awards, like a blue ribbon at the county fair, therefore the composition doesn't match...? Report this Post to the Staff
CCya Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 04/15/2008 01:01 am Yes, these are award medals. The rectangle space on the reverse is where the name would be engraved. The two I have where never awarded to anyone. Report this Post to the Staff
