Item: Rare
Issue Original Military MBE Solid Silver Medal 1935 Garrard of London First
Type. A wonderful opportunity to obtain an Original Full Size Military MBE
Full Medal, made by Royal
Silversmith makers Garrard?s of London and issued Military personnel. To the reverse of the medal we see a full set
of English Sterling Silver Hallmarks crisp
and clear date letter U 1935, this is very unusual as this must have been one
of the last first type medals before the second type was brought in. The medal is still in superb finishing as you
can see from the photos, with original silk purple water fleck ribbon with red
stripe. To the top front of medal we see the Royal Crown prominent and
present. This one is for the collector
or investor of solid silver medals or Royal Regalia. Thoroughly British, Buy
with Confidence. Very unusual to find a First type with the addition of the London
date letter marks with the Conjoined double headed bust of the King and Queen.
Garrard of London are the makers of the Crown Jewells which are housed in the
Tower of London, also Garrard are credited for such pieces as the Queen Mary Crown used for the Coronation, the
Imperial Crown of India worn by King George V and the famous Koh-i-Noor diamond
which was made for the Queen Mother. Robert Garrard II Silverware is avidly
more collected as they received the Royal Warrant under his production which
makes them more desirable than the earlier Garrards silver, to this date Garrards
still produce silver for the British Royal Family. Most of Garrard?s silver to
be found in museums or private collections around the world. Although there are
some to be found in auction houses
