Not sure what it's commemorating, but bought it anyway. I've got it on the BST for $99 being that it's kind of a unique piece, or is it? You tell me.

    Cool medal Rich. Although I dont know much about it, I will tell you that you are likely to get flamed for "soft spamming" by mentioning that its on the BST. image

    Francesco Vigo was one important figure of the American Revolution. He was italian.

    Funny that, just the other day, one forum member ended his PM to me with "Remember, we Americans are always covering your a$$". image

    If he had bolts in his neck I would have thought it was commemorating "Herman Munster"

    brutal honesty...just what i knew i would get. thanks for your help.

    I like the eagle design on the reverse, so I guess I'll just keep it.
    Didn't mean to soft spam it, sorry about that. was just wanting to see if anyone knew anything about it.

    Medallic art cranked out all sorts of 'stuff' back in the old days.
