stumac1 Posted 20 February , 2012 Share Posted 20 February , 2012 Hi there I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to locate a WW1 military medal sold by a shop in Chester in 2004. I am looking for a Military Medal won by my grandfather T E Trotter (there is only one TE Trotter on the war records) he was in the Machine Gun Corps. I have approached the shop and he has no sale records dating back as far as 2004 and for obvious privacy reasons even if he had any details he could not divulge the name of the recipient. I am watching ebay. I have thought of contacting all the medal shops and auction houses who deal with them. Has any one seen or heard where this medal is now our family would like this back. Any bright ideas from any one would be appreciated Many thanks Stumac1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyhill86 Posted 20 February , 2012 Share Posted 20 February , 2012 Stumac, British Medal Forum would be your best bet, its got a lot of people from the collectors circuit on there and if it has passed through a few hands they may well be able to point you in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaki Posted 20 February , 2012 Share Posted 20 February , 2012 Hi stumac 1, Try placing a 'wanted to buy'' ad in a medal/militaria magazine, I would offer a significant premium on the normal value. good luck khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelback5 Posted 24 February , 2012 Share Posted 24 February , 2012 Try placing and add in Medal News - they have a medal tracker section - http://www.medaltracker.com/ Hope you are successful in your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W.J.Caughey Posted 25 February , 2012 Share Posted 25 February , 2012 Stumac1, all of the above are good ideas you should try, on the thread link i started, it has hopefully produced a wonderful result with the location of a family members medals, Wyndham told me he just googled David's name, reg and number and came up with a hit on TGWF and it should reunite the medals with there family. So input the name and details in title bar and you never know your luck. I wish you goodluck in locating medal. Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stumac1, Glad you read my email. karty (see above) is the person saying that they know the whereabouts of your Grandfather's medal, I suggest that you send them a PM in the first instance.
