Good Morning Everyone......

Bid on the following on eBay and I am afraid that I was un-successful in obtaining it....

Sold for L 942.25 or $1,474.29 US which was a bit out of my budget.....

Even though I have kept records of it and one day I may put together a new list of all the Tribute Medals that I have found records for.....

TRIBUTE MEDAL FROM THE VILLAGE OF LANGHO


Hallmarked - Birmingham 1898
Maker - William Hair Haseler.
Also stamped with a lion passant on the silver loop ring.

Engraved - Presented by the inhabitants of Langho to J.W Bannister on his return from the war in south Africa March 1902.

The opposite side is engraved with the soldiers initials - J.W.B.

Measures - 5.6 cm in height ---- 3.9 cm wide
Weighs - 23.2 grams of 925 solid silver.

Never mind Mike, I've never been able to understand why so many of these medals command the very high prices that they achieve, notwithstanding, the number made and presented, I'd much rather spend that sort of money on a campaign medal!
