Great pic and good article! Sad to say many many silver medals even now are being melted! Sad but very true though what is interesting is iv seen a few pawn shops now starting to sell them on ebay as they have figured they can get more for them then the silver value so thats a good sign at least!

There's the london gazette but you have to see who was awarded the Ottoman Medjidje Order and the OBE who was also in the boar war and ww1 it would be a huge job with no guarantee youl get it down to one name! Also the london gazette is a PAIN to use!!!

Very nice medal and as the other medals would be unnamed you could easily get the full set together and have a GREAT display! Is it in your collection?

Ha I wish! No no lottery ticket just blind luck! To be honest with the Internet reunites are alot more common these days then you think!!!!

Reunites do happen! In 4 years of collecting British medals iv got 3, one for a family whose meritorious service medal went missing in the 30s a victory medal to ramc captain that took me 2 and a half years of mailing the person who had the vic medal and just recently a south African merit service star to a south African police detective major so the best bet is keep looking as it probably will turn up in the end! Nice set though!

Regards and thanks in advance

Have to agree it doesnt look original but as the title says some people have more money than sense!!!!
