      Here's my only india 1895 service medal. I t's named to (note: Probably misread and misspelled badly): 1375 sepoy pir boilish 5th pjb infy. Any thoughts? Sam.

      And the KSA. As you can tell from the scans, despite how bad they are, the medal has been renamed, you can see how thin the edge is. The paper on the ribbon appears to be the original tape the ribbons had attached when issued. Sam.

      Here are some pics of my boer war pair to a member of the 13th hussars. Sam.

      EXCELLENT set! This will find a new home in an instant! Just out of curiosity, what medals was he awarded? Sam.

      It's a pity that all the smaller bars are being smashed to bits just to make these 'frack-enstien' bars. Think of all that history, just destroyed for a few bucks, DESPITE the fact they'd probably get more if they sold the original bars seperatly. Sad, really. Sam.

      That's one amazing set of medals, i second what Paul said. You should get them mounted and framed along with a picture or two of him. And of course, don't forget the research! Sam.

      Nice medal bar and certainly an interesting bit of history. Just curious, why were the different ranks given different ribbons for their medals? Sam.

      Does anyone know about the 13th Hussars actions during the Boer war, or where i could find this information? I'm also looking for information on a specific member, Saddler Sergeant Swatton. (Written on medal rim as: 3025 Saddler Sergeant Wm Swatton 13 Hussars) Cheers! Sam.

      Great set! what is the bar of the ACE star?
    15. Mossy
      great looking bars, especially that bronze fighter. where do you keep finding all these! haha Sam.
    16. Mossy
      My only mounted set so far. A constabulary pair to Charles Lyon. Doesnt look researchable unfortunatly. The bar is for long service, 1941. Sam.

      Thanks darrell! Rick, i think you are probably right. the valour medal is pretty beaten whilst the other three are rather clean, althought that might just be an age issue. sam.
    18. Mossy
      and finally, an order badge of honour ( numbered 879,906) and a patriotic war (number 4890366). every one needs a patriotic war, a great design. ps. sorry about the scans, i was using a friends scanner. mines currently not working. smegging thing.

    20. Mossy
      Ive just started collecting soviet items, and this is how the collection looks so far. but some of the soviet medals out there look great, so it shouldnt stay this small for long. to start with, a few bars. the medal for valour is numbered 1099585.

    23. Mossy
