British Local Authority Police medals & Awards

[dpk]

I am a collector of police medals and awards issued by the Local Authorities in the UK- that is, the Counties, Borough, Cities and Town authorities of the UK who all issued medals to their police. These were particularly prevalent from the mid 19th Century to about 1951 but some still continue to this day. As there was so little current information available on these I wrote a book on them (mainly for my own information and reference) which was published in 2020.

 

I am always on the lookout for examples of these fascinating and sometimes rare medals to acquire, so anyone who has something of interest please get in touch!! I am at dpk@iinet.net.au so happy to hear from you.

Looks like a fascinating rabbit hole to fall into.  Is your book widely available?
