roughdiamond Posted 7 March , 2011 Share Posted 7 March , 2011 Wife's friend who I've been helping find out about her Fathers service, wants to purchase full sized replica British War and Victory medals, get them engraved, mounted and framed to pass onto her Son. She'd probably get them engraved, her Dad was 54166 Pte James McFarlane 8th Bn Scottish Rifles. What would the engraving be exactly on the rim? She wants them mounted, I believe they were normally Swing mounted, but Court mounting looks best I reckon, for authenticity, is swing the preferred option? Any recommendations for the full service and a rough guideline of cost? Secondly, She has a photo of her Dad which she'd like to include along with the Medals, a Cameronians cap badge and obviously a piece with his details, again, any recommendations and rough costs? She's looking for something like the one in the link from EG Frames. http://www.egframes.net/product_info.php?cPath=6_71&products_id=1242 Thanks folks Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffsyeoman Posted 7 March , 2011 Share Posted 7 March , 2011 The one I would recommend is the Worcestershire Medal Service; Bigbury Mint do a similar service. 'Pays yer money' and so forth. http://www.worcmedals.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Tiger Posted 7 March , 2011 Share Posted 7 March , 2011 Agree with Phil Worcestershire Medals - The replica medals I wear on my dress uniform came from them (saves me loosing the real ones)- Not cheap but good quality. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
