Engraving on medals

[dedehansen]

Hi Gents.

I was offered a medal bar with the engraving:

4. t-14543203 s.sgt k.g.lampard.r.a.s.o, GSM with bar Cyprus and

5. t-14543203 w.o.cl.2. k.g. lampard.raso, LSGC Regular Army medal, the other medals are without a name

1.The 1939 - 1945 Star

2. The France and Germany Star

3. The War Medal 1939 - 1945

I couldn´t find anything about raso

Is it a standard medal bar or something better?

Every help appreciated.

Kind regards
Andreas

S.Sgt. is a Staff Sergeant

W.O. Cl. 2 is a Warrant Officer 2nd Class

Both are ranks with the W.O. Cl. 2 is the higher rank......

Andreas,

Nice enough group with both WWII and post war service. I am sure it is Royal Army Service Corps. Not the most glamorous unit but certainly the most necessary as the troops on the ground could not survive without them.

Thanks Mike and Paul for your fast reply.

Yes it is definitely RASC, they couldnt read it, but

we are Germans and don´t have as much experience

with engraving on British medals.

I have only this picture, what would be a fair price for both?
Kind regards

Probably around 150 euros would be a fair price.
