MCPJSmits Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Can anybody help me identify the following medal? It has the Royal Marine Commandos regimental crest and colors, but is it some sort of regimental award? Thanks in advance! Regards, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Mike - I don't recognise it as an official issue - must be an internal award of commemorative piece. Perhaps one of our members can tell us more ? Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan M Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Mike, I asked about your medal on another site that has a Royal Marine sub-forum. Unfortunately no one knew for sure but I was provided with links to similar medals offered for sale on the 'net. As near as I can tell it's a shooting medal and may be issued through the RN RM Rifle Association. The star hanging from the ribbon is identical to the current RM helmet plate. Should I learn more, I will let you know. Cheers, Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Thankyou for that information Dan - and welcome to GMIC. Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan M Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Should I learn more, I will let you know. Mike, I've heard from another RM website, and I quote: "It's a Corps Shooting medal, they came in two versions, silver and bronze. Unfortunately the individual's name wasn't engraved on the back." So now we know what it is, but not to whom it was awarded. HTH, Cheers, Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
