    OHHHH Paddy......

    The reason you've never seen a silver MID before is because it isn't an MID MID's for ww2 were a single oak leaf on the 39-45 war medal ribbon. What you have there is a Kings commendation for brave conduct. It was instituted in 1943 for award to civilians who had received a "Commendation for Brave Conduct". Originally it was a gold coloured plastic badge with a red background consisting of an oval laurel wreath with an upraised sword in it and a crown above. In the centre is a panel with "FOR BRAVE CONDUCT". This badge was later replaced by a silver laurel spray to be worn on the Defence Medal's ribbon (or directly on the recipient's coat if he had not qualified for the medal).

    Nice find.

    Cheers
