  1. Army Ribbons - a side view comparisonCustom-Made Miniature and Full-Size Medal Sets:
    • Medals purchased from us (price includes mounting).
      Minis $9.50 - $19.50
      Full Size $15.50 -$69.50
    • (See order form for details).
    • Marines: Please make sure to tell us if you are a Marine. We do not stock anodized medals, but we can mount yours, if you like.
  2. Custom-made Army Ribbon Sets:
    • Marlow White's ribbon sets are sturdier than the "thin" versions on the market. We incorporate a metal framework within the backing that takes a bit more time and expense to build, but the metal-framework backing makes the ribbon rack less prone to damage than a plastic backing.
    • You can supply us with your previous Marlow White set for update and we will re-use as much as we are able ; however, please note that the "deeper" the order of precedence for the additional awards, the less we will be able to use from your current set.

How To Wear Mini-Medals

  • We are often asked for information about the proper way to wear Army Miniature Medals
  • We extracted the applicable information from AR 670-1 and are including it on this page:
  • How To Wear Miniature Medals

Important note about Army miniature devices:

If you desire old style "mini" devices on your Miniture Medals set, let us know. See AR 670-1 paragraph 29-12 for more details. Otherwise, we will build your set with the current authorized devices.
