QUERY: WORLD WAR I VERDUN MEDAL INFORMATION SOUGHT

The Herald-Zeitung of New Braunfels, Texas published an article about a woman's windfall from an eBay sale of a WWI medal. -Editor

Verdun medal Mary Alice Altorfer was a little strapped for cash so she decided to turn to eBay for a little quick dough.

The avid antiquer, who also works part-time for the New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung, put up for auction an old trinket she found years ago at a yard sale in North Carolina and for which she paid a slight pittance. Little did she know she had in her clutches a valuable medal from the first World War.

The rest of the article is behind a paywall, and although I found many eBay listings for Verdun medals, I was unable to locate one for this particular medal. What did it sell for? Can anyone tell us more about it? -Editor
