heusy68 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Thank you, Megan! Any ideas on the manufacturer?Hello Sir,all the Police Medals of Bahamas were made by Toye Kenning's of London in silver (there is their hallmarks on reverse).For the awards of the Royal Bahamas Defense Force (R.B.D.F.) I guess it's Spink,but there is no mark on reverse attachment system and no mark on medal too.Actually the medals from the R.B.D.F are not in silver,but in silvered metal.Emmanuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Great stuff Megan. I am certain that these medals are very very rare... I have done some work with their defense forces, and they do not have that many members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
