trench whistle Posted 16 August Share Posted 16 August I have just found a Medal of St.George Silver 4th class in a charity shop. Are these traceable by the numbers on the back? The number on this one is 1273350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeignGong Posted 6 September Share Posted 6 September Thank you Brian I will add them to my list of recommendation / citations. As I have stated before some of these are better than MM citations I have seen. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith_history_buff Posted 6 September Share Posted 6 September You may want to post on the British Medal Forum. It would appear this is from a series of numbers that were issued, where Battle of Jutland participants were decorated with this award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trench whistle Posted 10 September Author Share Posted 10 September Thank you all for the continued responses. The table of issue numbers dies indeed help as it confirms the medal I have to be a Jutland award. However the authenticity of the medal itself has been called into question, so it may be a replica.
