[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 3820820, member: 88"]This piece was presented to someone for winning/participating in the high & long jump events. I think the S.M.H. Sports on the back stands for Sydney Morning Herald. I believe the marks are for Birmingham BWDIK. :rolleyes: I failed to figure out what the H.W.A. means although I assume it is likely the jeweler that made it. There is also a mark of some sort on the back at the very bottom but I did not have a clue. Is there any significance to the crown design at the top? I also have no idea what the initials are in the monogram on the front. If anyone wants to take a stab at it that would be awesome. :happy: It is 1 9/16" top to bottom & 15/16' across at the top.
