Original U.S. WWI Navy Victory Medal Lot of 3 - Escort, Transport, & Destroyer

Original Item: Only Set Available. This is a lovely US WWI Victory Medal lot which features three different examples of Navy Victory medals with clasps.

The medals themselves are in good condition but do exhibit tarnishing. The ribbons are worn but that wear accentuates the authenticity of the awards.

The Battle Clasps Featured Are:
- Escort: Personnel regularly attached to escort vessels on the North Atlantic
- Transport: Personnel regularly attached to a transport or cargo vessel
- Destroyer - Service on destroyers on the Atlantic Ocean.

The World War I Victory Medal (known prior to establishment of the World War II Victory Medal in 1945 simply as the Victory Medal) was a United States service medal designed by James Earle Fraser of New York City under the direction of the Commission of Fine Arts.
