This medal happens to be the medal awarded to the G. G. Grandfather of a member of the collectors society here in Calgary......

Who was also a Trooper A. Mackenzie, B.S.A. Police in the 1970 / 80's

To say that he was very excited would have been an understatement when I told him about it and where it was......

He knew that the medals (Family that is) including some from WW1 and WW2 existed but other than a couple of WW1 medals he obtained he thought that he would never see them again.....

So, I take it the answer will be yes, then?
If so, it's not a great situation to be in, may prove rather expensive! :(

I would say yes he is going after it..... Funds for him I don't think will be a problem as he owns a construction company and a landscaping company here.....

Well, I think in all honesty, to him, it will be rather beyond value, it will certainly be interesting to actually see what it sells for on the day, it does make you wonder how a particular family manage to lose medals in the first place, although, they mean very little to some and of course, they have no say in what their fathers may have done with such medals.
