Jim Strawbridge Posted 16 January , 2010 Share Posted 16 January , 2010 Hallo Fellow members, A buddy on another forum has posted a question with regards a British Victory Medal he recently obtained:- 3002 Pte R.J.E.BUSCH. S.B.L. Any knowledge appreciated. Connaught Stranger. I have been following medal abbreviations for over 30 years and I have yet to see one to the S.B.L. in any dealer's lists. Your buddy has a scarce medal - or rather, a scarce impressed naming. Only 69 MICs seem to exist irrespective of the relatively high service number. Looking through these - a couple of anomolies. Herman Riis is a Boatswain !! And Harry Ray/Raisin seems to be a Lieutenant in the Russian Army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noor Posted 8 February , 2010 Share Posted 8 February , 2010 Hi all, I am the owner of this weird Victory Medal. Here is some extra photos and scans....

Noor Posted 8 February , 2010 Share Posted 8 February , 2010 I had time to think.... I will let this medal go because it is not my main collecting interest to look single British medals for different units and anyway few VM-s I have already as a part of groups. So, what you guys think what would be the value of this medal if I like to sell it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Strawbridge Posted 9 February , 2010 Share Posted 9 February , 2010 I would be interested in obtaining this medal so shan't put a price on it. Your best bet is to enter it on eBay or other specialist auction house and let the market dictate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noor Posted 9 February , 2010 Share Posted 9 February , 2010 Hi, Thanks for your answer! I do not use e(vil)Bay and not want to. But isn't it something way too common to offer it to the auction houses? I was more thinkig to do a deal directly with some other collector who collecting area this piece is more then me. Also I got some interest by messages. Just before I let it go, I just wanted to know aprox value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

per ardua per mare per terram Posted 10 February , 2010 Share Posted 10 February , 2010 ... Only 69 MICs seem to exist irrespective of the relatively high service number. .. As he appears on page one of the medal roll, and there are only 30 pages to the roll, the service number might be artificially high. WO 329/2346 Slavo-British Legion: medal rolls SBL/101B. Pages 1-30. British War Medal and Victory Medal. There are 3 other references on the catalogue to the legion, all 1919. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
