paul wood Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Bramah are a security firm noted for locks and alarms and have been for decades, I am surprised that they would make TWMs. Any chance of an image of the said box.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul wood Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_03_2014/post-3085-0-82640100-1394793606.jpgHere is the medal and box that Cenkab mentioned. The Bramah case dates between 1910 and 1936. However the TWM looks German made to me and looking at the company records I can see no evidence of Bramah producing any thing other than locks, keys and other security equipment. I suspect the box and the medal are totally unrelated. I don't know whether there are any marks on the reverse of the TWM which will be able to give definitive attribution.All the best,Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I agree with Paul, a probable "marriage" of the box and the award at a later date.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I suspect the box and the medal are totally unrelated. That's what I thought, too, when I read this... still, a picture of the reverse might bring certainity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Here is the reverse of the TWM looks German to me, the rivets should be able to give a definitive makers attribution. Alas Demir's book in storage at present while we are refitting our office or I would be able to give and answer.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demir Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hi, Position and style of the rivets as if they had screw nut on them as far I checked do not match the other well known makers. As Paul says most probably German specially made piece. I liked what Chris said "a probable "marriage" of the box" Regards Demir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
