Hi i have recently sold one of each of the 3 classes of mothers cross in the UK. I asked and recieved £35 for the bronze, £45 for silver and £60 for Gold. All the enamels were excellent and they really were lovely examples. I actually know a chap who has a few examples that he is looking to sell on. I can pass on his details if you are interested? Send me a PM if you would like me to. Dan

Hi Brian, great question. Chris is exactly right, S on a medal to Scottish regiments denotes war time enlistment. Below are the other S prefixes - S - Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve Sussex Division S - Army Service Corps Supply Branch S - Scottish Regiments Wartime Enlistment S - Army Service Corps Supply Branch S - Royal Army Medical Corps S - Royal Artillery S - Highland Regiments Wartime Enlistment S - Home Counties Regiments 3rd Battalion S - Rifle Brigade S - Royal Munster Fusiliers S - Army Ordnance Corps S - Dorset Regiment Cheers, Dan

Hi Chaps Just picked this up recently. I like it a lot, but im not sure if it is original as a group. I certainly dont doubt the originality of the medals themselves, but not so sure that they were all originally together.... SHouldn't the ost medal be third in the group? What are your thoughts?

What a wonderful thing to do. That is an incredibly generous offer. Please find my email, which is winging its way to you as we speak Kindest and heart-felt regards Dan :cheers:

Extremely nice photos Gordon, Very interesting Thanks for posting, Dan

Here here Jonathan!

I think that you can still see some gold? wash around the swaztika....

Wonderful grouping Hardy, i am jelous well done Dan

Hi Chaps How do we rate this eagle? I think it is the larger size Kriegsmarine Sunhelmet bird am i correct? is it a good one? It is missing 1 pin from the rear. It is white metal and shows remnants of a darker wash Dan

Amazing work John I cant believe how detailed they are, and the blending is fantastic Keep up the good work! Dan

Jonathan what a wonderful new addition to your collection, and such indepth research to its owner. Congrats on your comprehensive collection of P1895/97s Thanks for posting Dan

Great buckle! It looks as though it was made yesterday! Congrats! Dan

Hi Justin Its a great item. How big is it? I see the 3 small holes for attatching it, but what would it be attached to? Thanks, Dan

Great pair of items Gordon. Dan

The badge also appears to have a thin strip of silver-wash around the lower half of its edge. Dan

Thanks Rick. Today will be a better photo day! It turns out that we actually have an Epsom scanner packed away at my other halfs parents. Dunno which model it is but it will be coming home with me next time we visit...!

Ahhh. It shall be filed under 'bin' then!

Thanks Naxos. I'm pretty new to TR. What exactly is it meant to be a copy of? What particularly gives it away? Dan

RZM stamp and M1/72 what is the verdict?

Sorry for the poor pics! All 3 pins are missing. Looks to be of good quality manufacture in copper with a gold coloured plating.
