I'm about to finish this prop replica, but I've lost the pic file from the book, which is 1000 times clerarer than a screen grab. Any helpers so kind to post a scan? Thanks.
Picture request: Medal of Honor prop from the making of "The Wizard of Oz" book.

The lion's courage medal?
If so, I have a pretty sweet screen grab.
Not the pic you asked for, but not to shabby for starters.
If it's even what your talking about..I've never seen the MO book before..

Thanks, but I already have all screengrabs. I need a good scan off the pic in the book.

I think this is the one..
"The Making of The Wizard of Oz: Movie Magic & Studio Power In The Prime of M.G.M."
Found a slew of 'em on amazon for $5 and up.
Guntahkela, I could not find any pics online..tried for a while.
I see why you asked for the pics here.
Good Luck! with your prop..Looking forward to it

It looks like they have released a few of these Oz books, in the last few years. I can't remember what the cover looked like, but it has a very good pic of the medal, inside. I figured whom ever has the book, will know what I'm talking about.
A few years ago, I asked for the same favor, and someone posted the pic. I forgot who it was, but I hope he catches this thread.
Here's a little incentive of my WIP:

How's this?
NICE! Thanks. Hate to bother you, but could you post a bigger scan of the medal alone? It's the solver "lion" are what I need to nail.

No , sadly it doesn't.
I am not even sure if those props still exist.
The Scarecrow's costume is in the Smithsonian, the Tinman's was never found.

Always wondered why we don't see more Oz props on these boards. Certainly the Lion's medal warrants this interest, but I also think about:
Dorothy's ruby slippers
Tin Man's clock heart (i'd LOVE to have an accurate replica of this item)
Witch's hourglass
Tin Man's axe
Tin Man's oil can
I'll be following this thread with great interest.

Yeah, in fact, because of the lack of documentation, during the filming of the movie, the book, with the medal pic, hardly has any good prop pics. I was really surprised to see they had a good pic of the medal, although it is incompleted.
Most of the book is text with illustrations. If you are not a die-hard Oz fan, the book can get boring, pretty quickly.
Before asking for pics, here, I did a few google searches. As always, I find nothing on Google, but did find this interesting blog on how the Smithsonian Ruby slipers travel. All this trouble for Oprah to play with them:

Necro bump to find out if this prop ever found its way to completion?
You had such a killer start.

I don't know if anyone has seen this site. I purchased the Courage Medal and I think it's fantastic. Don't know about the Tin Man's Heart, it looks one sided.
