    Silver 1887 jubilee


    Recommended Posts

    Has anyone else seen the Silver 1887 + bar, Met Police Jubilee on Ebay? The medal is named to PC Snell 3rd Divn. I've seen this before , and it wasn't silver.... and the fact that there was only a small amount of these medals given out and always to Senior Ranks.... beware! ohmy.gif

    Hi Paul,
    Glad to be of service. I'm going to see if I can find where I saw it. It may have been a DNW/ SPINK etc, so I can hopefully provide solid evidence.
    I have certainly never heard of one with a bar.
    I would certainly appreciate a copy of the 1902 Role.

    I have seen several 1887/97 medals that have been silvered and I once had a 1897. The 1887/97 were never issued in solid silver only bronze to all ranks. The silvering is a poor plating which I believe was a period trend with officers silvering them for asthetic reasons. You sometimes see them gilded as well. Why they did it I am not sure.
