I'm a fan of both ANA medals and So-Called Dollars so I was excited when I just ran across this HK-401 ribbon. There are just 16 issued and about 3 complete badges known to exist. This one sold for $2,976 in 2016, just over 100 years after it was issued. This is pedigreed to Donald Young. Very impressive result for an ANA medal.

Here's the Holabird description:
