HI: I am seeking a length of correct sized ribbon for a WWI EK II Prinzencruz. Can anybody help here, or point me in the right direction to someone who can assist me?? Thanks! John S.

All mbrs: Can anyone, especially RN collectors, shed more light on this medal?? Thanks! John S.

Taz: You are quite correct, C.C. in this instance it does refer to cross country, with Sig: Dixon being the winner in this competition. Being the winner, the medal might be silver, though it has no sterling marks on it. I will have to get it tested, for sure. I hope that another member(s) might have an example of this award in their collections. Any illustration anyone can provide would greatly assist me in seeing what the suspension of this award should look like. Thanks! John S.

Hello all: I have recently acquired a sporting medal awarded to a member of the Royal Navy in the 1930`s. It measures approx 38MM diameter, and appears to be silvered brass. The obverse is inscribed "ROYAL NAVY & ROYAL MARINES . CHAMPIONSHIPS.", with a standing Britannia in front of the British Lion, the whole surmounted by a Naval Crown, with dolphin supporters. The reverse displays a naval anchor with plaque in the centre, which is engraved, "Inter-Port C.C./ Championships 1936/ Winner/ SIG: H. DIXON." The edge of the medal is totally unmarked. Along the bottom edge of the medal is marked "PHILLIPS ALDERSHOT", which I assume made the award. At the top of the centre of the crown, there appears to have been some sort of suspender, which has now been removed or torn off. Please refer to my attachments for illustrations. I`m wondering if any members have in their possession or have seen a medal such as this one, and if they have one, could they- 1) post pics of the complete medal with suspension in place, as well as the ribbon it might have hung from, and 2) can anyone post any further info on this medal, as at present, I know nothing about this award, and would like to learn more. Any assistance here would be most appreciated- I`ll look forward to any comments members might make, no matter how insignificant they might seem to be, Thanks! Cheers, John S.
