Title: What do they call the pin on a ww1 war medal?
Post by: truebritmega on Saturday 16 May 20 15:51 BST (UK)

sorry, probably a silly question, however, I got a couple of war medals in honour of my graddad who i never knew, the British War Medal one tho needs a pin, clasp thingy for the ribbon... Im not sure what to call it to search for one on ebay etc...

Anyone know?

yes, I know it might seem a lil silly getting a couple of replicas, but its my lil way of keeping his name and what he did... "in the family" :)
