Default Here is a bargain....

A bargain price for a 39-45 war medal. Love the listing:
"Goes without saying yet again.. this medal is really.. well, unique."


Today for sale at QRC is a very unique item, 1 of 2 that I am selling. It is colorfully toned silver medal from Canada from the time period of 1945. If anyone, and I mean anyone, can help me identify this medal, its origin, even its silver content, I would love to know and I will give you credit in this listing for helping me out. All I can tell thus far is this medal meant a lot to someone, somewhere, and I ain't lettin it go cheap.


**Returns accepted.


Thanks!

NOT ONLY is he offering it at a bargain price, he doesn't even know what it is......

I really like the ....."featuring a King". He also has for sale a CVSM with,at least, the right description.

Looking at his other listings, he really needs to do some research. A US WW2 Victory Medal listed at $289

Sometimes a lack of research works in our favour.
I've had some good deals on eBay due to a vendor giving the wrong description, or listing an item in the wrong category.

With an insane price like he has on the medal I could not resist sending him a response:


Hello - this medal is about as rare as black flies & mosquitoes up here in Canada. It was awarded to everyone in the Canadian Forces who served in
2nd World War. I dont know how many awarded, but approx several thousand. It retails for around $30 here.
