War with Germany was certain, and the mood was somber. The R. Harris and Company of Washington, DC struck these medals. The bronze pieces are known in the “finished” and “unfinished” formats. The “finished” pieces have brown patina and are stamped “R. Harris and Company” on the edge. The “unfinished” pieces have a wire rim and brighter surfaces. The example shown above is an “unfinished” piece.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
