Hussulo Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Yesterday I was at a local antiques fair and although I don't collect medals, when I saw the dealer putting this one out I couldn't resist. Its details are absolutely stunning and in high relief.It's a 21st Anniversary of the Volunteer Movement Medal 1881, by N. Macphail after N. Paton, Crowned, veiled, draped bust of Queen Victoria facing, dividing V.-R/St. Michael shouldering sword standing before female protecting children, 64 mm. Quote
Hussulo Posted January 18, 2009 Author Posted January 18, 2009 According to BHM, the only ones produced were copper/bronze and Silver. The original box was red leather with red Velvet and silk.I'm pretty sure mine is white metal and comes in a purple/ blue velvet case.My one is 2 1/2 inches and it weighs 74.2 grams. BHM doesn't give weights does anyone have a copy of Eimer's book? Quote
Hussulo Posted January 18, 2009 Author Posted January 18, 2009 It has been inscribed around the edge at a later date "Lanarkshire rifle volunteers PTE. J.W. Robertson Q Coy 1st. LRV. 1898" .Unfortunately I can't find any information on PTE. J.W. Robertson. Quote
