Original U.S. WWI Navy Victory Medal Lot of 3 - Armed Guard, Grand Fleet, and Atlantic Fleet

-
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:
- Armed Guard: Regularly attached to an armed guard vessel for one voyage across the North Atlantic between 06 Apr 1917 and 11 Nov. 1918. This is a private-purchase example as the bar is shaped like the Army bars. Very rare.
- Grand Fleet: Regularly attached to any vessel forming part of the Grand Fleet between 9 Dec 1917 and 11 11 Nov. 1918. This is a private-purchase example as the bar is shaped like the Army bars. Very rare.
- Atlantic Fleet: For service on such duty from 25 May 1918 to 11 Nov. 1918. Great example with minor fraying.
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.
