The PFD is based on the Canadian system, is there something just like that but for the british way?
"Thomas Henry MANNING, Esq., Comptroller ofPosts and Telecommunications, BritishSolomon Islands Protectorate"so...they'd have been worn as per UK protocol....if I understand it correctly.0 -
Here is a PDF File with the rules and regulations for wearing miniature medals from the Governor Generals Office.....
The miniature was not awarded by the Queen but had to be bought buy the recipient of the full size medal......
Hope it helps.....

Hey Mike, thank you very much for the insight.
these will stay with the family forever, but any idea how rare they are? we have no intent whatsoever to sell them but any clue as to how rare it is to have such a complete set like this?
Thanks so much for the help!

Hey everyone, very very new to this forum. Just joined today.
This is my great grandfathers medal that was presented to him by the Queen.
My question about these medals is I can't seem to find even a reference about the medal having been presented with smaller versions to be worn?(one large, one much smaller that appears to be silver with blue enamel and a third even smaller one, however I only have the lone poor quality photo of it for now.)
I was hoping maybe someone online here would know more about that. I've spent alot of time searching online and unless I'm missing a key word or whatever I can't find a trace of the smaller versions.
Any ideas?

Question about Imperial Service Order medal(s?)

Hey Mike,
Thank you very much for the information, it was always believed that all three medals had been presented at the same time.
and just 2500 of them were ever awarded during the Queen's time up until they discontinued them. I would've thought much more then that. Great information to know. =)
We have no intentions of them ever leaving the family, I was a wear there was some value to them however nothing could ever outweigh the sentimental value they hold to us.
I may have a couple pictures of the presentation to add to the album, I still have to sort out if they're connected to this medal or some other occasion.
Thanks again Mike, you've been very helpful and lightning fast with the information I was after!
