<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 4284971, member: 88&quot;]This is one of the things that were in the display piece I bought a few weeks back. While photographing &amp; researching this piece I was quite surprised that I could not find anything like it listed anywhere &amp; that it was not silver plated.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I found the man that won this medal when he was 21 years old. He ultimately went on to a fairly distinguished career as a conductor &amp; composer in Iraq (his home country), England &amp; the United States. He died about 10 years ago. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is hallmarked for 1938 Birmingham as well as by Mappin Webb on the one side. It is 1 3/4&quot; across &amp; is 1/8&quot; thick &amp; weighs 42 grams.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Pieces from the Royal Military School of Music do sell but I was hoping one of our members across the pond can tell me how common it is to find something like this for sale. I know this one has value as far as the silver but I am hoping it is worth more to someone who collects items from the school.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I also have a bronze medal that he won for Conducting but the photos turned out really crappy so I will have to retake them. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1089652785_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1089652787_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1089652789_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1089652790_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1089652792_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1089652794_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1089652796_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1089652797_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1089652799_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1089652802_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=29]@Ownedbybear[/USER] [USER=22]@daveydempsey[/USER] [USER=1067]@Houseful[/USER] [USER=8708]@KSW[/USER] or anybody else that may be able to help me.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any &amp; all advice or opinions!!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":kiss:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":kiss:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":kiss:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
