ArHo Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Hallo all, I might be wrong here so mods please feel free to move or delete this topic if inappropriate. I own this little silver (?) cross, we assume it was bought wherever decades ago and has no family ties. It seems to be of UK origin - inscribed "Harris Pairs cox 1913" and I wonder if this is some sports /masonic /club medal? Or does it have an unofficial military background. Any thoughts on this little cross appreciated (I dont collect medals). The color is silver in reality - the lights made it look like copper.

QSAMIKE Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Looks like a sports medal and my guess is as follows..... Last name Harris, and Pairs for Rowing, Cox. for Coxswain..... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I got another tip from a friend - it might not even be an "award" but perhaps it is a so called "watch fob" used from victorian times to pull the pocket watch out. Never heard about such but you never cease to learn. Research goes on... Cheers ArHo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I suspect it is a watch fob too. You may be able to further identify it by looking for a university or public school which uses the rampant lion crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
