Thanks for posting. Are these still unresearchable?

I Have a 2nd class in my collection. Also would like to obtain service records of a veteran recipient of a 2nd class - Long story as to how his second class was stolen by a neighbour, and he only has the third class award number to go off. However last I knew these labour awards were not researchable.

Jim :cheers:

What puzzles me is the selection process.

 

Only 900 or so cavaliers means it was very prestigious to be awarded a 1st class. But based on what? When I read above that a factory mechanic got one, surely there's millions (?) of others in similar jobs. Was there an aspect here of it not so much being merit based but more intended for propaganda purposes - i.e. setting a good example?

Hopefully there is a path to research.

 

Am amazed at how volatile (downward!) the prices for these sets have been considering their rarity.
