NEWARK, N.J. — The company that holds the government contract to manufacture the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest combat decoration, admitted Friday that it sold 300 unauthorized medals for $75 each.
H. L. I. Lordship Industries Inc. of Hauppauge, N.Y., said it will plead guilty in federal court Nov. 4 to making unauthorized medals and pay up to $225,000 in fines. Under the plea bargain, there will be no further prosecution of Lordship or any individuals, said its lawyer Frederick Hafetz.
