Rayjin Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hi Paul Sorry to hear about the theft, I also collect the 1919 Peace medals, so I will keep my eye open for any unusual numbers of these appearing for sale. I will also send the info in your post to my usual sources in case they get offered any or hear of anything. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul wood Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Yes the details were sent to me yesterday in an E-mail I felt that given the nature of theft it was something worth mentioning on GMIC. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Paul - thankyou for posting this distressing loss - with so many involved it is a serious theft. May I suggest that in addition to here you add the post to the Stolen section on the For Sale section. Not everyone reads the British Forums.

paul wood Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Gentlemen..... Cut and Posted to a few other sites..... Mike Many thanks Mike. I normally am not so bothered about many thefts reported as most are untracable but my gut feeling is that something as unusual will ring alarm bells if such material turns up in large quantities. I am afraid I have problems coming to terms with the technologies of late 19th century let alone with late 20th century/21st century. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These medals may be dispersed throughout the country to auction houses and they have a stolen items section. Go to their website Also, try their online auction search engine at the-saleroom.com Hope they're found and the ******** caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
