    There's been speculation as to whether the St Petersburg Legation also issued its own Legation medal as at the time, there were three Qing Legations - London, Berlin and St Petersburg.

    The London Legation Medal by Heatons of Birmingham was awarded by the London Legation, while the Berlin Legation Medal was issued in Berlin.

    Would you be able to expand your thoughts as to the Heatons Medal also being awarded by the St Petersburg Legation?

    FANTASTIC STUFF Nick! :cheers:

    You've solved one enduring mystery regarding the Legation Medals - that the "London" Legation medals were in fact issued by both the London and St Petersburg Legations with two manufacturers: Heatons by Birmingham, and now Abraham Avenirovitch Griliches.

    I think this deserves a separate thread!

    It is quite possible that some french manufacturer could be pretty busy with manufacturing these babes.

    Take a look at this one ;)

    #44 is fascinating! The presentation case and ribbon is undoubtedly Chinese made, which would make me hazard that the medal too was Chinese made.

    The pristine condition raises a niggling doubt in my mind but it could well have been cleaned / polished for sale.

    Unfortunately the photos are terrible ...

    We also see ball suspension in post #25 ;)
