Gravesend 1914-18 Special Police Service Medal- info sought

[dpk]

I am seeking information regarding a quite scarce British Provincial Police medal, the Gravesend 1914-18 Special Police Medal issued in 1919 to Special Constables who served the Gravesend police during WW1. I have a hallmarked silver example (unnamed) but I have also seen images of a gilt version of the same medal, named to a 'C.B. Gilbert'. I am trying to find out any information re this award as information is virtually non-existent.

 

Also keen to hear of anyone who has examples of either type. 

Hope you can help!
