Stephen Nulty Posted 5 December , 2011 Share Posted 5 December , 2011 Chums A friend has asked if I can help in identifying the clasps on the medal below. I know nothing of medals, but it seems to me that we have some strange clasps from the 1930's on a BWM, which seems a funny combination , and I also have no idea about the ribbon. Any thoughts gratefully received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffsyeoman Posted 5 December , 2011 Share Posted 5 December , 2011 Those clasps an the ribbon have nothing to do with the BWM to which they are attached; I think they are actually road safety/safe driving awards (which came on a medal of their own). http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/custom/e20cl/img/ConMediaFile/watermark.php?mainImage=i0000jbu.jpg&width=280&text=%C2%A9%20London%27s%20Transport%20Museum& It's a poor pic - but top left.

Staffsyeoman Posted 5 December , 2011 Share Posted 5 December , 2011 Happy to help. Why it's like this we can only speculate; could be anything from a stage prop to a personal modification to someone finding the medal and the ribbon in a box and putting them (erroneously) together.
