GOETZ LUSITANIA MEDAL HELP SOUGHT

  Greg Burns writes: "Once again I'm seeking the help of your
  readers. I'm pulling together the final bits and pieces for my
  book, ?The Lusitania Medal and its Varieties? and need to
  fill in some gaps.

  I've been told that Guido Goetz, son of the famous German
  medalist, Karl Goetz (1875-1950), supposedly authorized a
  Japanese firm to fabricate reproduction medals based upon his
  father's models sometime in the 1970?s.  I haven't found any
  specific details regarding this arrangement, the name of the
  Japanese firm, how the pieces were produced and sold, when
  or at what price. I thought perhaps someone in your
  knowledgeable reader base may be able to generously pass
  along some helpful information. I'd appreciate any aid that can
  be provided, and for significant material that I end up using will
  gratefully acknowledge that fact in the book."
