Schools, Museums, Serving Forces, TA Units, Ex-Service Clubs, Relatives, Friends, British Legion, Collectors, Owners, Re-enactment units,Historians and Families have all enjoyed owning non name high quality cast medals that grace any spaces left in a British Medal Collection.
The Reason
Collectors of original medals have seen dramatic price rises over the years especially since the beginning of the Internet and it has become impossible in some cases to own these magnificent memories of our past and present times.
To give you some idea, Last year an original Military Medal (for bravery in the field) was bought for £1,000. It still had a price ticket on it from 1972 for £20!
These groups are the highest prized of all. To see prices of £100,000 plus is a regular occurrence and often you only see 1 group for sale in a year, if at all. It is for this reason that we have started to catalogue all the known Victoria Cross Groups and put the prices within reach of all of us. Some collectors will buy a few groups at a time. Some will buy a group each month dependant on each individuals taste and budget.
Other Medals
Our aim is to put as many VC groups on here but we will also be covering all the British medals from way back to Trafalgar and to the present times.
Replica Medals have been around for a long time. Families have them for their parents and grandparents whose medals have gone somewhere else in the midst of time.
For schools they are a pure source of history. Instead of around this time etc, a medal shows the exact time when some historic event occurred. Museums show them because the group they need is elsewhere. Ex Forces clubs use them as display. Owners who actually own the medals can display a framed replica set and keep the originals save from thieving hands. The list is endless. So for your pleasure, enjoyment and collecting needs we proudly display what we have put together so far. You will find them all at:-
