Anthony Jordan Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Recently I acquired the two medals illustrated for a reasonable price as part of a small lot described as coming from the stock of a retired dealer. I was and am sure that the Military Medal is a copy but I am entertaining the faint possibility that the TFWM might be an original which has been erased. Or it might be a rather over-weathered reproduction! I notice that it has two very small initials (DM or BM?) at the base of the bust of the King on the obverse. I guess that these are the initials of the designer, Sir Bertram MacKennal. Is that a good sign? In terms of the relationship on the reverse between the "L" of "Territorial" and the pin of the suspender is similar to that shown in Narbeth's "Collecting Military Medals". Any comments would be warmly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
