United States of America, National Defence Service Medal

The National Defence Service Medal (NDSM) is a service award of the United States Armed Forces established by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1953. It is awarded to every member of the US Armed Forces who has served during any one of four specified periods of armed conflict or national emergency from 1950 to the present. To date, the NDSM has been awarded for four specific time periods, which roughly correspond to the Korean (1950-1954), Vietnam (1961-1974) and Gulf (1990-1995) wars as well as the Global War on Terrorism (2001 to date). The Medal shows a North American bald eagle perched on a sword and palm with the inscription NATIONAL DEFENSE above. The reverse shows a shield taken from the coat of arms of the United States within an open wreath of oak and laurel leaves. The ribbon has a wide yellow stripe in the centre, flanked by narrow stripes of red, white, blue, and wide red stripes. The medals are as issued, mounted on a card with the dress ribbon bar also attached. The Bronze Stars sold out very quickly in the last issue so get in quick to secure this one.

British Armed Forces Spec Numbers First/Last Matched Numbers (set of 22 notes)

Some 25 years ago we purchased a huge lot of British Military Notes- some 17 million pieces. One of our members made up sets of the first 1000 notes printed of each prefix in the lot. It took him ages to get these sets together. There were a total of 11 notes all with the same serial number , 4 £1 notes of which 3 are different types, 3 decimal 50 pence notes and 4 decimal 10 pence notes. Searching through our store room we found these collections and the matching 11 notes printed from the last 1000 notes printed from the same prefixes e.g 000425 and 999425 These sets of 22 different uncirculated notes originally sold for £300 a set. These numbered sets are bargain for this price!
