Victorian Queens South Africa Medal. 70th Company, Sharpshooter, Imperial Yeomanry. Cardiff?
Medal is in nice condition with sharp detail having taken on a dark patina from years of sitting around. The top two clasps are held on by what I belive is a period repair using wire. Side stamped details are clear and are as follow... 28234 TRP J. THOMAS. 70TH Coy IMP. YEO. The ribbon is its period example, stained and with remnants of bluetak to the back.
This medal was brought into m... read more

WW2 HMS Sussex Souvenir Ships Badge.
A very nice, I presume constructed on board the ship from scrap aluminium, souvenir ships badge. The badge is cast with the ships name stamped to the crown area.

Belgium M49 Steel Helmet .1949/50. Hand Painted Side Insignia

Liner is clean and supple but the central top pad has come adrift and stuck to the liner, fixing screw missing. Not a hard job to find a top screw post and resemble and as I mentioned nice to find the ha... read more

Boxed WW2 RAF KIA Medals. Newport S.Wales.
These medals relating to a R.C.FOXALL recently surfaced from a local house clearance in the Newport area. Even though the medal slip has an error in the name, a letter "A" in the surname rather than"O", the box than goodness has the full details as expected when sending out the box to surviving relatives, most probably his mother. Medals have not been mounted etc as should be with KIA examples.... read more
