I now have both census medals, one for the 1920 census and the 1930 census that included Korean citizens.

First buy outside the USA got it from eMedals in Canada shipped FedEx waiting for a tariff letter from FedEx maybe I will luck out and not get one. But been wanting one of these. It was made in 1944 in France or England out of zinc. And a stick pin and soviet era set of pilot badges and a Czech issued Longines pilot watch.  

Great looking medal, congrats!

Hello everyone!    I thought I’d share my newest medal. It is the National Census Medal. 

Unfortunately, there is no pistol.  I wish there was!

I am not a fan, in fact we have a similar (if not exactly the same) example that we are selling as a reproduction. https://militarycollectorshq.com/store-catalog/ols/products/reproduction-wwi-german-imperial-battle-flag-item-7719

I am not a huge fan of the ink stamps, as these can be easily added to a flag to make it more presentable and believable.   The U-29 ink stamp could be for a U-Boat (29). There were a boats designated U-29 (WW1 boat was sunk and all hands were lost on March 18, 1915) the WW2 U-boat U-26 keel was laid in 1936 and during the war saw seven war patrols and was decommissioned after the war and scuttled in May 1945.  I am very skeptical of this being the connection though to the U-boats.   I specialize mainly in Third Reich era flags and this is out of my wheelhouse but again I am skeptical about the ink stamps as many original flags have been destroyed with fake ink stamps and markings.   Just my thoughts.. I will have to more research on the flags/ink stamps on Imperial Flags   Best regards   Leigh     

I really enjoyed the show, thanks again for putting it together. Great exhibits as well!

Nice.  Rich A. in Pa.

Welcome to the WMF!

My Sunday score .. Japanese type 100 camera, wwII Kriegsmarine insignia, WWI pipes

Good morning. This is not my area of expertise. But I just acquired this and hoped to get some feedback. The consteuction looks very good to me and it has the aged look it should have. If good, I had two questions. 1) Is this a WWII era issue used for special occasions? 2) what is the meanibg of the "U-29" mark? Thank you for your time and expertise!
