[QUOTE="Coinanthebarbarian, post: 4324533, member: 24227"]I agree, that crown does look very similar. I’m not sure if you can see it from the photos, but on the front under the word, ‘association’ are 2 dates: 1899 & 1902, so I am assuming it’s Boer War period? I inherited this medal, along with a few other items from my Great-Grampy. My Great-Grampy was born in 1914, so he wouldn’t have got it if it’s Boer War period. I’m not sure if his father served in the Boer War, but perhaps my Great-Grampy got it from his father, who got it after serving in the Boer War, or traded it with someone who did serve? I’ll contact ‘ [URL]http://www.southafricanmilitaria.com/[/URL] ‘ now and see if they know anything about it. :) Thanks again for your help. Kind Regards, ‘Coinanthebarbarian’[/QUOTE]
