Robbins - Type 1 1920 - 1930 |
|
The type 1 medals were made until late 1930. They differed from the type 0 in that they had distinct feathers on the back. There are at least 4 variations. The pendant on the first three variations had a notch (Λ) on the back above the line of the tail feathers. The other variation was made with a straight line where the back meets the tail feathers.
