    1. Just for fun,my ERII, cap, I assume a dress version
    2. Very nice pair, looking for something similar myself 👍
    3. Can I ask, as a novice, exactly which bit is "weird" or am I missing something?
    4. Thankyou all for your inputs, I think I've got my head around it now Regards
    5. Hi, thanks, i thought about that option, but i would have thought a greater contrast in the "greyscale" would be noticed, perhaps i,'m wrong, that being said i would expect a naval general service medal to be in the line-up, I appreciate your input Regards Edit, you know, looking at it again, the africa general service medal has 2 green stripes in the centre, perhaps the green and the yellow background merge to a significant degree, and look uniform, you may well be right, i missed the blindingly obvious i think, thanks
    6. Hi all, got a bit of a question concerning the attached medal bar image, the unknown item is arrowed. The admiral is Sir John Warre Slade, medals left to right are, George v coronation, Egypt, ?? Africa General service medal (edvii/gv), Khedive star. Unknown medal, Edward vii, coinage facing left, clasp thin type ribbon, central stripe, two thinner edge stripes, I can't seem to find that combination, ribbon, 2 types match, the 1st Afghanistan, but qv coinage, wider clasp, or natal 1906, but wider clasp, and edvii but coinage facing right, nothing else matches or am I missing the ridiculously obvious??
    7. Hi, just to update, finally found a type 1, officer with swords, quite diffuicukt to find, (in the uk), comes with the original case, which i admit, has seen better days, sesrch fir Knights version now 🤔
    8. Just for info, it also came with king George v coinage on the obverse
    9. If the colours are blue and green, then yes india general service medal 1908
    10. It must have been a very unpleasant experience, for myself, its justification in my decision to avoid ever having an account, or even going on that awful place, glad for you that something has been resolved
    11. Sounds a bit more reasonable, ( that being said, i only paid 180 gbp for my wagner some years sgo, maybe im out of date😲)
    12. Almost certainly this one, also around the neck, signifying grand master of the johanniter order
    13. One shouldnt forget ofcourse that the british royal family came from german ancestry, (saxe-coburg-gotha) and in the earlier days festooned themselves in many german orders, so german made stuff was nothing new to them😏
    14. 👍 Thanks larry, it appreciated Regards
    15. Hi larry love the colours in the last 2👍
    16. Hi Larry, nice clear and spot on colourisation as usual, youve spurred me on to have a rummage in my archives and post a couple or so? Regards
    17. Hi according to my search, thus is anI. M. O. S. Medal, dont revognise the one you posted, sorry https://www.dracomedals.com/belgium/belgian-ww2-posterior-medals/sphinx-imos-ww2-interallied-distinguished-service-cross-military-medal-decoration-award-wwii-1940-1945.html
    18. I have to be honest, im suprised its taken this long to reach this point, probably due to the commitment of many others as Nick mentioned, i believe that since the enevitable has now arrived, a financial membership contribution together with some advetising or selective sponsorship as already mentioned is probably the way forward
