Guys, I am looking for two specific war props.

They are a bronze star and a purple heart.

Do you know where I can get these cheap?

I mean CHEAP!

Or Something that looks like it?

the bronze star is about 20$, and the purple heart 40$.

here's a 12.95 purple heart replica, but it's only 2.5 inches long

other than that, well you could always make one yourself, but I didn't find any plastic replicas or whatever. so go with the expensive ones (welll... not that expensive, considering you could get both for 60$), or fashion one yourself. if it's to be seen from a distance, it shouldn't be too hard to make something convincing.

Yeah, in this case eBay is cheaper. Also awards of valor are honerable acheivements, and illegal to wear if you've not earned it. So use it respectfully in your movies.

I am not going to wear it. I need it to be on a table.

Would you possibly know any one who actually has these medals for real and will lend them out? Surely knowing your war loving ways there would be a lot of them out there
