This section deals with an assortment of different unofficial medals who often appear in the market but little is normally known from them. Some images have been obtained from people who has sent us by e-mail in order to request identification of them.

We hope expert visitors can give us more information on the medals described here. I will post all pictures of medals that I won't be able to properly identify here.
