U.S. Military Merit Medals Lot of Nine Miniature - Nine miniature military merit medals spanning American service decorations, each suspended from its original ribbon. The collection includes a Purple Heart with an enamel center, four-star designs in bronze, hexagonal service medals, and commemorative pieces. Ribbons show the characteristic striping of U.S. military awards: red-white-blue combinations, green-and-gold, and burgundy with center stripes. Several medals bear legible inscriptions on the reverse, including ”For Military Merit”. Most medals display natural patina and light wear consistent with age and handling; ribbons show creasing and color fading appropriate to their service or display history. These miniatures were historically worn on dress uniforms in place of full-size decorations, making them essential references for understanding the wearer's service record.
