Don't seem to be many medal enthusiasts so I thought I would add a couple of Navy Aviator wings for a change.
1st: WWII style produced by Balfour. These are marked LGB (L.G. Balfour) 1/2010KGF for 1/20th 10k gold filled.

2nd: 1960's era Balfour set similarly marked. Balfour 1/20 10K GF. Note the 1-B which is indicative of 1960 -'65 production pieces.

Very nice Darrell!
I would add that, based on the hallmark, that MoH is probably dated somewhere in the 1960's to very early 1970's at latest. Congrats, an excellent example!

Kind of hard to follow a MoH but, here's a few additions.
I have been looking into the manufacturer of an Air Force DSM sometime back that was unmarked in any way. Another collector on another forum suggested it might be an early unmarked HLP product as many were unmarked and I think he was correct, as I just picked up a cased set and only the lapel device was marked. Not 100% but, it's looking like it's HLP afterall.

Next up, are a couple of Lordship manufactured Legion of Merit's, both Legionnaire grade.
First, one is dated April, 1978 in the small blue box of issue.

Still pretty nice details and we see the manufacturer continued to use the HLP-GI hallmark as late as April '78.

Still very nice but, the small details are slightly less defined and the gilt is much brighter.
Note, that by this January '82 timeframe, the manufacturer's hallmark has changed to LI-GI.

I'll throw this one up, though I don't normally collect mini's.
Here's a May 1970 HLP mini of the Antarctica Service Medal:

In the process of locking this one down but, the hallmark with the letter "I" inside a diamond, appears to be representative of the Irons & Russell Company of Providence, R.I.
