Next email from him

Sir –

 

I just read a little further into your website and my questions have been answered. Seems like there isn’t just one specific rosette pattern for a specific medal?

 

Thank you very much,

Kelley

Some agencies had them made non-Mil-Spec and I show those that I found with pictures of on my site.
I do not make Rosettes, I have a page that shows where you can have them made=
http://www.frontiernet.net/~jackiebush/pages/Links_infoRosettes.htm

The making of a Rosette is kind of a Art form as they do not necessarily follow the Ribbon pattern.
On the 1st page of my site is Rosettes with their Ribbon and a close look at that will show the variation in pattern.

Hope this helps
Eric

Hi again,
I talked to Dexter in the past and at that time they would not do business with an individual, just organizations.
Before this, I asked about getting the Legion of Merit made, a Gov. item, they said they needed permission from the issuing agency.
I went through that process and the agency could not give me permission as the Medal did not come with a Rosette,
The Rosette exists but had been made by someone in the public sector.
So Dexter was a bust.

I would like to know what Dexter tells you.

Eric

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my email. Very kind of you! I have sent an email to Dexter Rosettes to place an order. Hopefully they will be responsive.

 

All best,

Kelley
