Awesome! I was born too late (1982) to read these the first time round, but i can remember rifling through my older brother's belongings to pinch his copies of Warlord in the late 80s! Great post Leigh Dan :cheers:

Crimea Medal
FrontlineAntiques replied to a topic in Great Britain: Orders, Gallantry, Campaign Medals
That is a beautiful medal, well done Is that the original ribbon or modern replacement? Thanks Dan -
The question is who would bid on it?? I am fairly new to TR and have to ask a lot of questions and tend o get my thoughts on items backed up by more experienced collectors, but anyone bidding on an abhoration like that has more money than sense!

Well done Jan Arne, what an amazing bargain! Dan :cheers:

This one is very reminiscent of the Hamburg coat of arms. Could it be German? Dan

Here we are - Badge of the Territorial 5/6 Bn Staffordshire Regiment. phew! I have always been interested in where the Staffs knot came from. Does anyone know? Dan
-
I think that the knotted one is the North Staffs Regiment, rather than a divisional or brigade badge. I have something similar knocking around here somewhere... The bottom right badge i am inclined to agree with Leigh...Im not so sure that it is military.... Dan

I would, but i have nothing to the Dorsets! :unsure:

Another Nametag...
FrontlineAntiques replied to DonC's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Research, Documentation & Photographs
Hey would it be possible to lightly trace it onto paper, go over the tracing in pen and then photograph the paper.....? -
Great stuff as always! Dan
-
Great post Leigh, thanks. There was an excellent article in Medal News about the evolution of the dorsets badges. It was probably about 4 years ago, and i cant lay my hands on the copy just now Dan

Hi Matt Yup they are magnetic and the ek is of 3 part construction. This is actually my first EK Could anyone recommend a good reference book on them? Thanks Dan
-
Hi Thanks for all the replys. I think its fair to say that the group has been out together at some time. From the looks of it all the medals are genuine (fingers crossed). Can anyone give an opinion on them? Thanks, Dan
-
That's what I thought to be honest. Thanks Dan
-

-
Hi Matt The group did come with a 4 year award also, but the previous owner was unsure if they were all to the same recipient. Here it is Thanks Dan

Morning chaps A collecting friend of mine picked this up recently and asked my thoughts. It is obviously some sort of police medal, but that is as far as my limited knowledge can get me. it is of 3 piece construction and is not maker marked. My feelings arent good for it, but does anyone have an idea of what it is supposed to be? Thanks Dan
