Quote from GeorgeMo on June 1, 2015, 5:50 pmRecently came across a medal that appears to be identical to the HK892 Type 1 "World War I Good Luck Medal". However, this one is dated 1918 instead of 1917. It's similar to #276 on the list of unlisted SCD's, but there's no mention of France: http://www.socalleddollar.com/afMilitary.html Another list on that site that attempts to tally all existing examples notes that the first version of the HK catalog showed a picture of a 1918 version for the HK892 illustration, and that this presumably exists with both dates: http://www.socalleddollar.com/notes.html#HK892 Does anyone else have one of these in their collection? Or, is there something I'm not thinking of that would preclude it qualifying for the series? edited by GeorgeMo on 5/17/2015 edited by GeorgeMo on 5/17/2015
