The ribbon appears down the rear of the medal and is mounted to a piece of plastic. The medals are then securely wired to this backing to prevent movement. This dramatically reduces the chance of damage to the medals when worn and improves the overall appearance of the medals. The height from top to bottom of the medal is 4\". Current CAF members are eligible for reimbursement thru the CAF and receipts are provided.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/8745\/files\/Afghan_Gp_small.jpg?575\" height=\"115\" width=\"156\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Swing Mounted\"\u003c\/strong\u003e Medals are sewn to a pin brooch and can be pinned to your uniform or other clothing. The downfall with this style of mounting is that if you have more than one medal they will swing about and bump into each other causing tiny marks on your medals. This is the tradition method up to the 50\/60's and this is how current single CAF medals are issued before court mounting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/8745\/files\/SWASM_w_Bar_small.jpg?574\" width=\"127\" height=\"151\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Bow Mounted\"\u003c\/strong\u003e The traditional method of ladies to wear single medals for formal wear.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/8745\/files\/Bowed_MB_small.jpg?573\" height=\"112\" width=\"111\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll medals are mounted with care and with all new materials\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eMedal are mounted with post pins.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eOlder or foreign medals are additional cost to mount\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eOld materials returned on request.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eYour choice of felt backing color.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlack or Red\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eOptions available at additional costs.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eBrooch bar \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eElectroplating of medal\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","image":{"created_at":"2018-08-04T22:29:36-06:00","alt":"","width":534,"height":352,"src":"\/\/www.defencemedals.ca\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/MSM_Bronze_Star_Gp.png?v=1533443376"}}]
