Graikos Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Last week I managed to get my hands on this faithful service constabulary medal from the time of George the V. I would have two questions. How can I find out when the medal was handed to Mr. Herbert Tyson and what storage possibilities do I have for such a medal? Anything would be interesting. From frames to boxes... just as long I can find it online and it allows me to display it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 That's a great medal. There are quite a few places that sell jewelry display boxes/cases. Perhaps that would suit you for displaying your medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roaddevil Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 nice medal u can try "medal displays" on google i found some sites a long time ago but didnt bookmark them since i only have 2 medals xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graikos Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Oh, didn't think about jewelry display boxes. I have been trying to find wooden frames for medals on google, but the German search wasn't much help. Lindner offers boxes that can hold more than one medal, but I am not planing on buying more than this. Coins take up enough energy and money as it is. Thank you, you two. One question still... Would it be a stretch to include this kind of medal to my omnicoin collection? I am not sure whether or not it is properly considered an exonumia item.

Art Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I'd say no stretch at all. It's a perfect example of exonumia. (It's also one great looking medal, and it has significant historical value.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graikos Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Great. Then I will include it today. Now if only I could find out when Herbert Tyson got this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Great. Then I will include it today. Now if only I could find out when Herbert Tyson got this... I'm sure there are some records somewhere that would indicate that. You may be able to find the medals in a book or website that would at least narrow the range of years that particular design was used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graikos Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Well, following the advice from a medal forum I tried the 1901census site, but to no avail. According to the seller this medal is not researched, unfortunately. But I will not give up. As soon as I have some more time, I will find out when Mr. Tyson was awarded.
