U.S. NAVAL MEDAL OF HONOR AUCTIONED
Howard Daniel writes:
"Last week's E-sylum had an item about the auctioning of many very nice Siamese and Thai orders and decorations. I used to collect Thai and looked through this outstanding collection.
"Out of curiosity, I looked at some other lots and was completely surprised to find a US Naval Medal of Honor! It is at lot 1368. I am not sure that one of these can be privately owned but I am thinking there has to be an American collector who would want it back in the USA."
Here's the lot description from Morton & Eden in London; the medal brought 2,000 GBP.-Editor
