RMS LUSITANIA MEDAL. Boxed edition for St. Dunstans Blinded Soldiers and the Red Cross
$185
The British having obtained an example of his first striking and knowing that the 5 MAI 1915 was two days prior to the actual sinking were quick to capitalize on this mistake by implying that the dreadful Germans had pre-empted the strike. For propaganda purposes and a way to raise funds for St. Dunstans Blinded Soldiers and the Red Cross, they proceeded to copy the medals for sale in an attractive box with an explanation leaflet. This outfit is complete.
