alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 10/26/2010 07:42 am I've just won this beauty: and needless to say, I'm delighted. But I can't find any info about it,anywhere. Does anyone know the engraver, or how many were made? Thanks Bob Report this Post to the Staff

alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 10/26/2010 6:40 pm Thanks, but unless I'm missing something; all I can see is the rectangular 1919 medal. Report this Post to the Staff

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 10/26/2010 8:01 pm the Hong Kong medal in the link is very similar, but not quite the same. I wonder what sort of animal that's meant to be : lion; tiger; wolf; something else ? Peter in Oz Report this Post to the Staff
alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 10/29/2010 1:20 pm The Indian Military History Society have given me the following info: See Robert Puddester "Medals of British India" Volume 1, London: Spink, 2002 (ISBN 1 902040 50 3) number 918.2.1 for this medal plus 918.1 - Lord Willingdon's Medal for Good Recruiting Work (Identical obverse). You might also be interested in 918.2.2 - Bombay Peace Medal - Sailors; and 918.2.3 - Bombay Police Medal - Police (both with the same obverse but different from that on your medal). Yours was not found in the die impressions of the Bombay Mint but was almost certainly struck there. I can't locate this book, any chance that someone has a copy? Report this Post to the Staff
